[PATCH v2 2/2] mac80211: minstrel try all rates

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

 



In Ad-Hoc mode, it is possible for minstrel to be initialized without complete rate information.
In these cases, throughput suffers because not all rates are tried.  This patch tells minstrel to try all rates.  
This won't cause problems, because unsupported rates will simply fail, causing minstrel to set their probability to 0%.
(Hopefully not whitespace damaged this time)
