Subject: [PATCH 3/3] minstrel_ht: increase sampling frequency
Date: Sat,  2 Mar 2013 21:20:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1362255614-30859-3-git-send-email-nbd@openwrt.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1362255614-30859-2-git-send-email-nbd@openwrt.org>

Try to sample all available rates, as sample attempts do not cost much
airtime and are appropriately spaced based on the average A-MPDU length.
This helps with faster recovery on rate fluctuations.
