Subject: [PATCH 12/13] rt2x00: Fix tx aggregation problems with some clients
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 13:35:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201103281335.23166.IvDoorn@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <201103281334.52023.IvDoorn@gmail.com>

From: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com>

Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush
their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients
rt2x00 should send a BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU
subframe fails.

Introduce a new flag TXDONE_AMPDU to indicate that this is an AMPDU
subframe and pass IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to mac80211 if an
AMPDU subframe failed during transmission.

This fixes aggregation problems with Intel 5100 Windows STAs (and maybe
others as well).
