From c7317e41df30c7e04dca46360e5ebb0cb36dda45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 02:47:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel_ht - reduce the overhead of rate sampling - reduce the number of retransmission attempts for sample rates - sample lower rates less often - do not use RTS/CTS for sampling frames - increase the time between sampling attempts Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W.
