From 830f903866a1611e9ce53f3e35202302bb938946 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2007 14:51:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: allow driver to ask for a rate control algorithm This allows a driver to ask for a specific rate control algorithm. The rate control algorithm asked for must be registered and be available as a module or built-in. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
