[RFT] mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API

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

 



So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how
convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for
everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now
taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control,
most drivers don't support that though.

Tested on b43, and I think nbd tested on ath5k too, so far.
