[RFC PATCHv3 1/2] mac80211: Determine dynamic PS timeout based on ps-qos network latency

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

 



Determine the dynamic PS timeout based on the configured ps-qos network
latency. For backwards wext compatibility, allow the dynamic PS timeout
configured by the cfg80211 to overrule the automatically determined value.
