From 18c8adeb0244f823ba78a51e23f813fe68bc3c54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Buesch Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:33:40 +0200 Subject: b43: Rewrite TX power adjustment This patch rewrites the TX power recalculation algorithms to scale better with changed enviromnent. If there's low TX traffic, the power will be checked against the desired values every 60 seconds. If there is high TX traffic, the check is redone every 2 seconds. This improves the reaction times a lot and confuses the rate control less. It will also reduce the time it initially takes to tune to a new TX power value. With the old algorithm it could take about 30 to 45 seconds to settle to a new power value. This will happen in about two to four seconds now. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W.
