Neat. For mesh, it's handy to have the (somewhat imperfectly specified) sta->fail_avg too for drivers that implement all the rate control in firmware and thus may not report tx status for all frames. At cozybit we had implemented a drv_link_stats driver op (hack) that just got last_tx_rate and fail_avg so that the airtime link metric could work on such devices; this call could replace that, I hope. -- Bob Copeland %% http://bobcopeland.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
