Subject: [PATCH 17/20] rt2x00: Update comment about the AMPDU flag in the TXWI
Date: Sat, 2 Oct 2010 11:33:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201010021133.43033.IvDoorn@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <201010021133.18211.IvDoorn@gmail.com>
From: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com>
During testing with AMPDUs it turned out that the rt2800 hw will aggregate
consecutive frames with the same RA and TID when the first frame in a
possible aggregate has set AMPDU=1 in the TXWI. If a following frame has
set AMPDU=0 in its TXWI it might sill end up in the aggregate of the
previous frame. Update the comment accordingly.
