LEDE does not use mac80211 and drivers from the kernel tree, it's built using backports. It's currently using a backports snapshot that I built myself from wireless-testing 2016-06-20, which already includes FQ-Codel. - 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
