This patch removes the incomplete AMPDU implementation in ar9170usb. The code in question is: * too big and complex (more than 550 SLOC.) This is enough to qualify for a new separate code file! * unbalanced quantity & quality over-engineered areas like: * xmit scheduling and queuing frames for multiple HT peers * redundant frame sorting are confronted by gaping holes: * accurate transmission feedback * firmware error-handling and device reset * HT rate control algorithm * error-prone Since its inclusion, hardly anything was done to fix any of the outlined flaws from the initial commit message. => This also indicates poor maintainability. * relies heavily on several spinlocks. As a result of this shortcomings, the code is slow and does not even support the most basic 11n requirement: HT station mode. Therefore, I request to purge my heap of **** from the kernel: "ar9170: implement transmit aggregation". The next item on the agenda is: (re-)start from scratch with an adequate design to accommodate the special requirements and features of the available frameworks and tools.
