From: Christian Lamparter Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2013 19:35:39 +0000 (+0200) Subject: carl9170: add support for the new rate control API X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ad86ed39db83d0c3111c10850e58691ef57e81e;p=linux-beck.git carl9170: add support for the new rate control API With the new rate control API, the driver can now apply the tx rate to outgoing frames just before they are uploaded to the device. This is important because the rate control can now react to fading or improving links a bit sooner. Also, the driver no longer needs to sort the outgoing frames for sample attempts (which affected the size of A-MPDUs and the throughput of the link). For aggregated data frames, the driver (and rate control) needs only to calculate and apply a single set of tx rates to every subframe of the whole aggregate.
