From 4cc7224393deb868170eb6c05c81574eecbda600 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helmut Schaa Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:31:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Don't sample max throughput rate in minstrel_ht The current max throughput rate is known to be good as otherwise it wouldn't be the max throughput rate. Since rate sampling can introduce some overhead (by adding RTS for example or due to not aggregating the frame) don't sample the max throughput rate.
