[RFC] ath9k: optimize rate control statistics

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

 



From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

for ease of debugging, the optimization is done such that the rate
control stats are shown only for rate's that might be possibly used.
for instance if static HT20 is configured, showing HT40 rate control
stats is unnecessary. for dynamic HT40/HT20 i had made it such that the
stats will be displayed till HT40. double streams/ triple usage was
also considered. did some basic testing.
