if you compare that to the code in mac80211/util.c ieee80211_frame_duration():
dur = 16; /* SIFS + signal ext */
dur += 16; /* 17.3.2.3: T_PREAMBLE = 16 usec */
dur += 4; /* 17.3.2.3: T_SIGNAL = 4 usec */
dur += 4 * DIV_ROUND_UP((16 + 8 * (len + 4) + 6) * 10,
4 * rate); /* T_SYM x N_SYM */
it is equivalent, except that you don't add 16 /* SIFS + signal ext */. is
this intended?
