[PATCH 12/26] iwlwifi: mvm: set different pm_timeout for action frames

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

 



From: Avri Altman <avri.altman@xxxxxxxxx>

When building a Tx Command for management frames, we are lacking
a check for action frames, for which we should set a different
pm_timeout.  This cause the fw to stay awake for 100TU after each
such frame is transmitted, resulting an excessive power consumption.
