But it being a transmitter-side issue it doesn't really seem so - *every* possible peer would have to be adjusted, and some might not even be able to get adjusted (e.g. devices that have A-MSDU deaggregation in hardware/firmware) ... So to do that properly you'd have to advertise some sort of quirk vendor IE, and all that, which seems excessive given the limited use. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
