Re: [PATCH] ath10k: set max mtu to 1500 for sdio chip

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

 



So I understand the reasoning behind using ETH_DATA_LEN, but would it
be more future proof / obvious to the next dev to calculate the size
given the interface's parameters/defines--- I get that the values were
chosen to align with this but just worried if things were to change
over time this would not be resilient/obvious thing to fix up?

I was curious if these changes would have any impact on things like
WEP where the frames are a little larger? I came across a random post
about 80211 mdsu/mtus here
https://www.cwnp.com/forums/posts?postNum=307311 and they had
mentioned it, so it got me curious
