[PATCH 13/13] iwlwifi: disable PS by default

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Unfortunately, PS currently affects RX performance
significantly enough to warrant disabling it by
default, but give the user the choice to enable it
again with iwconfig.
