From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2014 09:28:11 +0000 (+0200) Subject: iwlwifi: make U-APSD default configurable at compile time X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d6ca18de129fc4dd4374389561930b32820f35ff;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git iwlwifi: make U-APSD default configurable at compile time With a significant number of deployed APs, enabling uAPSD leads to the AP never using aggregation sessions (likely due to the complexities involved in handling uAPSD in those.) This obviously results in a large drop in throughput with such APs. On the other hand, uAPSD can result in some power consumption benefits, but for now just disable it to get performance with affected APs back up.
