From fe8431f89e25de722610ee5beb2892bd019d1fed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2012 18:00:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: add an rx flag for ignoring a packet's signal strength For A-MPDU rx it makes sense to only process the signal strength once per aggregate instead of once per subframe. Additonally, some hardware (e.g. Atheros) only provides valid signal strength information for the last subframe. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W.
