From f77f8234409978fefa0422b12a497451173e39b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Kretschmer Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 22:34:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: apply coverage class on slottime too According to 802.11-2007 17.3.8.6 (slot time), the slot time should be increased by 3 us * coverage class. The code only increased the ack timeout, which is fixed by this patch. We have noticed in our long shot scenario that we see less collisions with this patch.
