From: Johannes Berg Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2007 13:17:44 +0000 (+0100) Subject: mac80211: make simple rate control algorithm built-in X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc3~155^2~19 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ac71c691e6a5ce991fe221d3bdb0c972f617aa37;p=linux-2.6 mac80211: make simple rate control algorithm built-in Too frequently people do not have module autoloading enabled or fail to install the rate control module correctly, hence their hardware probing fails due to no rate control algorithm being available. This makes the 'simple' algorithm built into the mac80211 module unless EMBEDDED is enabled in which case it can be disabled (eg. if the wanted driver requires another rate control algorithm.)
