From 0299a50abb5ee8d605c93b61b70e51a717c9960b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 02:47:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: fix handling of rate control probe frames The ath9k aggregation code was already checking the rate control probe flag to prevent starting an aggregate frame with a sampling rate. What was missing was closing an aggregate before adding a probing frame to it. Without that, rate control cannot have precise control over probing, which delays using faster rates when the channel conditions improve. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W.
