The problem is a bad degradation in throughput with our new 9000 family of devices because when aggregation times out we stop the aggregation internally in the firmware but don't send a delba. Then on the AP side, also with our driver, we don't handle the timeout as we should, so aggregations the devices get out of sync and BA sessions are not possible anymore, limiting our throughput to ~30Mbps, in some specific internal tests. > > Should I send a separate patchset with these two so they can be both > > applied at the same time (either in the mac80211 or in > > wireless-drivers tree)? > > Now that Johannes is away and I'm taking any urgent mac80211 patches, I > think the best approach is that you include mac80211 patch in the same > patchset as the iwlwifi patches destined for wireless-drivers. Okay, if you think the (one-liner) iwlwifi driver fix is -rc'able, I'll resend this in a patchset including both changes. -- Cheers, Luca.
