[PATCH 4/5] mac80211: add per-packet transmit power to rate tables

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

 



This will be used to allow rate control to control per-packet tx power.
Since cb space is tight and minstrel/minstrel_ht uses
info->control.rates only for the sampling rate, the tx power field in
info->control refers to the first rate attempt entry only.

Transmit power for the selected best rate set is stored in struct
ieee80211_sta_rates.
