Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:23:45 +0530 Message-ID: <1259063627-20033-1-git-send-email-vnatarajan@atheros.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Update the beacon queue parameters with best effort queue parameters for IBSS mode. This reduces the number of beacons generated by ath9k and ensures a fair beacon distribution when there are multiple IBSS stations. Also CWmin is quadrupled to achieve the expected percentage of distribution.
