I don't think so. It's not that this is an actual queue anyway. It just acts as a buffer to queue up one or two packets in the small race window of actually filling up the DMA rings and stopping the mac80211 queue. (It also acts as a context dispatcher in the first place, though). So the "looping through the queue" just means checking if one or two packets can be transmitted now. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
