[PATCH v2 0/2] Add support for fragmentation offload

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

 



This patchset adds support for hardware TX fragmentation offload
to mac80211 based drivers. A callback is added to ieee80211_ops
to receive fragmentation threshold updates.

The added functionality is very similar to the one removed by
patch f546638c3f80.

The patchset is required for wl1271 based cards. The firmware
does not support fragmentation in software and in fact clears
the MOREFRAGS flag for TX packets.

v1->v2: Merge mac80211 patches. Remove flag indicating support
for HW fragmentation. An implemented set_frag_threshold callback
indicates HW fragmentation.

  mac80211: support hardware TX fragmentation offload
  wl1271: add support for HW TX fragmentation
