Hmmm. You're right, but that's something we already need to fix in many cases -- as the duration field is overwritten by most hardware these days, we haven't always maintained it very well. Your driver seems to be the exception to this -- maybe you can look into fixing up the duration calculations? Also for 11n which isn't taken into account at all today. johannes -- 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
