From cec429dd65ef1ccc693e5fa1468b0a12982b4283 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rajkumar Manoharan Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:19:29 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: choose legacy rate as last rate of MRR series Choose legacy rate as the last rate of Multi Rate Retry series if and only if the last selected rate is MCS and having higher PER rate. The current code fills a legacy rate as last one even though the previous rates in the series are having good PER value. This could limit the aggregation that affects the uplink performance.
