From 8c739d8d7935e87bf68a0f8cefa6a947f787d642 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilan Peer Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2019 13:32:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: mvm: Allow retries for probe responses When hostapd sends a probe response, it does not request an acknowledgment on the probe response. This setting is propagated to the driver and FW from mac80211, and as a result probe responses are transmitted only once without retries. In congested environments, this reduces the likelihood for finding the AP. To overcome this, enable acknowledgment and retries for probe responses, even in case no acknowledgment is requested. In such a case the retry limit is set to 3.
