From 2e12ab7f05093a8595782a598df20455f78a4264 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?J=C3=A9r=C3=B4me=20Pouiller?= Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2019 16:14:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] staging: wfx: ensure that retry policy always fallbacks to MCS0 / 1Mbps MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When not using HT mode, minstrel always includes 1Mbps as fallback rate. But, when using HT mode, this fallback is not included. Yet, it seems that it could save some frames. So, this patch add it unconditionally.
