Subject: [PATCH 04/10] mac80211: do not calc frame duration when using HW rate-control
Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2011 07:42:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1295156534-4178-5-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1295156534-4178-1-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com>

When rate-control is performed in HW, we cannot calculate frame
duration as we do not have the skb transmission rate in SW.

ieee80211_tx_h_calculate_duration() should only be called when
ieee80211_tx_h_rate_ctrl() has been called before to initialize data
in skb->cb. This doesn't happen for drivers with HW rate-control.

Fixes the following warning when operating in AP-mode
in a driver with HW rate-control.
