I just submitted a PATCH RFC/RFT to modify ath9k to use the new intermediate software queues. There are very few (zero or close to zero) drivers in linux which do that, and Michal's patch does not do anything at all unless your driver uses the new intermediate software queues.

See my post from a few hours ago with subject: [PATCH RFC/RFT 0/2] ath9k: use mac80211 intermediate software queues (I am interested in knowing what other mac80211 drivers have been modified to use the mac80211 intermediate software queues. I know Michal mentioned he has patches for ath10k that are not yet released, and I know Felix is finishing up the mt76 driver which uses them.) -Tim Shepard shep@alum.mit.edu
