From 8fe723117a8ef543b6e68ba24e50e1c15250f6c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wey-Yi Guy Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2009 14:35:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: HT performance improvement changes During rate scaling, checking for 0 retry count before decrement the count by 1, this can avoid the retry count to become 255 (0xff), which will cause the rate to drop faster than what we expect during good condition (receive 0 retry packet). also change the algorithm to make the rate not drop faster than what we like.
