Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Setting coverage class (and ACK timeout and slot time)
Date: Sun, 6 Dec 2009 18:20:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200912061820.26320.8an@praha12.net> (raw)
These patches implement a feature essential for long distance wireless links:
setting ACK timeout and slot time. The API is based on a parameter called
Coverage Class specified by the 802.11 standard.
The first two patches add support to the kernel 802.11 stack via a new nl80211
parameter and a mac80211 callback.
Following two patches implement the callback in ath5k driver. Implementation
in ath9k driver is planned.
One additional patch outside the series adds the necessary userspace support
to iw.
