Subject: [PATCH v2 04/10] mac80211: do not calc frame duration when using HW rate-control
Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2011 13:16:23 +0200
Message-Id: <1296472589-26401-5-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com>
In-Reply-To: <1296472589-26401-1-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com>
References: <1296472589-26401-1-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com>
Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-wireless.vger.kernel.org>

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.
