[PATCH 02/45] iwlwifi: mvm: add an option to start rs from HT/VHT rates

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

 



From: Gregory Greenman <gregory.greenman@xxxxxxxxx>

Extend the configurable option of setting initial rate to RSSI based.
Make the initial rate to be set to VHT/HT SISO or legacy depending on
the AP capabilities.
