[PATCHv2] nl80211: Add support to configure TID specific Tx rate configuration

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

 



This patch adds support to configure per TID Tx Rate configuration
through NL80211_TID_CONFIG_ATTR_TX_RATE* attributes. And it uses
nl80211_parse_tx_bitrate_mask api to validate the Tx rate mask.

v2:
 * Added documentation for new parameters in struct cfg80211_tid_cfg
