From 3057dbfdab1b86a77ed6d512fc857b032f78663b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lorenzo Bianconi Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2014 23:57:40 +0200 Subject: cfg80211: enable dynack through nl80211 Enable ACK timeout estimation algorithm (dynack) using mac80211 set_coverage_class API. Dynack is activated passing coverage class equals to -1 to lower drivers and it is automatically disabled setting valid value for coverage class. Define NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_DYN_ACK flag attribute to enable dynack from userspace. In order to activate dynack NL80211_FEATURE_ACKTO_ESTIMATION feature flag must be set by lower drivers to indicate dynack capability.
