From af01710118a6bf87eff0141f5dd46fd1c487e9b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Chadd Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 23:54:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Allow 802.11n hardware to support multi-rate retry when RTS/CTS is enabled. The legacy (pre-802.11n) hardware doesn't support this - although the AR5212 era hardware supports MRR, it doesn't have all the bits needed to support MRR + RTS/CTS. The AR5416 and later support a packet duration and RTS/CTS flags per rate scenario, so we should support it.
