From 1d60ab0574fae362b1cca0ef52181ef75fd46832 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Brivio Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2008 11:33:10 +0100 Subject: rc80211-pid: fix rate adjustment Merge rate_control_pid_shift_adjust() to rate_control_pid_adjust_rate() in order to make the learning algorithm aware of constraints on rates. Also add some comments and rename variables. This fixes a bug which prevented 802.11b/g non-AP STAs from working with 802.11b only AP STAs. This patch was originally destined for 2.6.26, and is being backported to fix a user reported problem in post-2.6.24 kernels. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio Signed-off-by: John W.
