[PATCH 1/2] mac80211: detect hardware rate fallback for non-MRR hardware

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

 



This fixes tx status processing for drivers that do not support mrr.
If the retry count is bigger than the maximum retry count configured in
the hardware, do not count the rate attempt as successful, the hardware
has probably switched to a lower rate.
