In ath9k htc txrate status is not updated to mac80211 as rate control is
handled in firmware.This workaround will obtain the txrate which was
supposed to be for debug statistics and updates it to mac80211 using
a rate control look up table.
Well, we can't match the TXRATE event with any transmitted frame,
so we would end up sending bogus and most likely, stale, information to mac80211.
Hi Sujith,
Thanks for your reply.Yes we cannot cleanly send the actual
status to mac80211.
This patch just takes care for displaying the txrate and appropriately
sets mac80211 rate control flags,but completely ignores long retries.I
had tested it , except retries the MCS index , txrate in userspace
matches with the txrate reported in debug statistics.
Is there chance of any possible fix for this ?
