[PATCH 023/119] staging: brcm80211: corrected tx status feedback for non AMPDU packets

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

 



From: Roland Vossen <rvossen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Code still contained a 'FIXME' label that said tx status feedback (consumed by
the rate control algorithm) was not yet taking RTS/CTS into account.
