From 1152dcc28c66a74b5b3f1a3ede0aa6729bfd48e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wey-Yi Guy Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:42:58 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000 Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design. Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.
