[PATCH 2/2] mac80211: support hw managing reorder logic

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

 



From: Sara Sharon <sara.sharon@xxxxxxxxx>

Enable driver to manage the reordering logic itself.
This is needed for example for the iwlwifi driver that
supports hardware based reordering.
