Subject: mac80211: rate control status only for controlled packets
X-Git-Url: http://www.pilppa.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2b874e83c970b45c328ab12239b066a43505454c;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

mac80211: rate control status only for controlled packets

This patch changes mac80211 to not notify the rate control algorithm's
tx_status() method when reporting status for a packet that didn't go
through the rate control algorithm's get_rate() method.
