Subject: [ath9k-devel] How to lock AMPDU length at a specific value?
Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:54:14 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <52DEDE76.2040603@mailservices.uwaterloo.ca> (raw)

These mostly determine the MAX AMPDU length. I also want to determine 
the minimum length, so
that I can set min=max and lock the AMPDU length.

Thank you,
Ali
