Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 15:30:24 -0800 Message-Id: <1296862224-19489-1-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com> Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: From: Ben Greear This allows users to tune the connection-loss algorithms to be more or less lenient. In particular, larger null-func retries helps when using lots of virtual stations on a loaded network. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear --- :100644 100644 e059b3a... f77adf1...
