| Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: always use mac80211 loss detection |
| |
| ath10k does not report excessive loss in case of broken block-ack |
| sessions. The loss is communicated to the host-os, but ath10k does not |
| trigger a low-ack events by itself. |
| |
| The mac80211 framework for loss detection however detects this |
| circumstance well in case of ath10k. So use it regardless of ath10k's |
| own loss detection mechanism. |
| |
| Patching this in mac80211 does allow this hack to be used with any |
| flavor of ath10k/ath11k. |
