Hello Everyone,

I wanted to find implementation of backoff protocols for different platforms.
I tried to find it in various open-source drivers in linux-sources, madwifi and
stlc45xx. Everywhere I could only find some initialization of CWmax, CWmin, ...
but not the actual algorithm (something like, cw = min(cw<<1 + 1, cwmax) ),
except ath_rate sample/mistrel where the operation is used for "best
rate measurement"
as I understood.
Am I correct to assume that the protocol is implemented in firmwhere and there
is no open source driver which I could use to "play" directly with it?

Thanks in advance.
