[PATCH 19/20] rt2x00: Improve cooperation between rt2800pci and minstrel

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

 



From: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In order to lower the impact of probe rates don't send a frame as AMPDU
if the rate control algorithm sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE.
Otherwise a whole aggregate would be send with a probe rate which might
lead to numerous retries.
