[PATCH] Revert "rt2800: use TXOP_BACKOFF for probe frames"

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

 



This reverts commit fb47ada8dc3c30c8e7b415da155742b49536c61e.

In some situations when we set TXOP_BACKOFF, the probe frame is
not sent at all. What it worse then sending probe frame as part
of AMPDU and can degrade 11n performance to 11g rates.
