Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mac80211: Add new callback set_coverage
Date: Sun, 6 Dec 2009 18:23:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200912061823.45809.8an@praha12.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200912061820.26320.8an@praha12.net>

Mac80211 callback to driver set_coverage() sets slot time and ACK timeout
for given coverage class. The callback is optional, but it's essential for
long distance links.
