Hi,

we are trying to apply different airtime weights to different stations
in order to have some prioritization among connected stations. While
this is working pretty well with ath9k, with ath10k we always obtain a
fair distribution of the airtime (i.e. 50%-50% in the case of two
stations), regardless of the airtime weight specified.

E.g. STA1:
RX: 0 us
TX: 2295610622 us
Weight: 200
Deficit: VO: 256 us VI: 256 us BE: 34 us BK: 256 us

E.g. STA2:
RX: 0 us
TX: 162597077 us
Weight: 10
Deficit: VO: 256 us VI: 256 us BE: 9 us BK: 256 us

We are using Compex WLE650V5-18A cards.

So, does ath10k support airtime scheduling? In such a case, do we need
specific Wi-Fi cards?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Miguel.
