Rate control instances are always per sta (so per 802.11 destination). The problem you are describing either doesn't exist, or is something different from what you're describing. I would recommend running a test with latest mac80211 and minstrel(_ht), it should perform much better than PID. - Felix -- 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
