[RFC PATCH v3 12/12] ath9k: EXT_KEY_ID A-MPDU API update

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

 



When using Extended Key ID mac80211 drops @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU for
the last packet which can be added to a A-MPDU in preparation.

Finalize A-MPDU immediately and start a new aggregation.

This is the (b)leading edge of my current attempt to figure out a
solution to the "must not aggregate keyid 0 and 1 frames together"
problem.

I've not even tested that patch properly, yet..
So it only shows how I think ath9k driver can use the A-MPDU border
signal to send out the A-MPDU frame currently under construction.

May be useful to figure out if we want to implement A-MPDU border signal
in mac80211, through.
