[RFC/RFT 11/11] mac80211: allow segmenation offloads

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

Implement the necessary software segmentation on the normal
TX path so that fast-xmit can use segmentation offload if
the hardware (or driver) supports it.
