From 4f6760b01bda625e9555e16d8e9ba8126a9c9498 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rajkumar Manoharan Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2011 18:37:33 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: Fix tx throughput drops for AR9003 chips with AES encryption While sending aggregated frames in AES, the AR5416 chips required additional padding b/w subframes. This workaround is not needed for edma (AR9003 family) chips. With this patch ~4Mbps thoughput improvement was observed in clear environment.
