1 # MadWifi configuration
4 bool "Enable compilation of debugging features"
5 depends on DEVEL && PACKAGE_kmod-madwifi
8 config MADWIFI_COMPRESSION
9 bool "Enable Atheros Super A/G Compression"
10 depends on PACKAGE_kmod-madwifi
11 depends !TARGET_ar71xx
14 Enables Atheros Super A/G Hardware Compression Engine.
16 config MADWIFI_SINGLE_MODULE
17 bool "Combine driver and net80211 into a single module"
18 depends on PACKAGE_kmod-madwifi
21 This option combines all driver and stack related code (except for HAL)
22 into a single module, thus saving space and removing unnecessary kernel
26 prompt "Rate control algorithm selection"
27 depends on PACKAGE_kmod-madwifi
28 default MADWIFI_RCA_MINSTREL
30 This option controls how MadWifi chooses its bitrate.
32 config MADWIFI_RCA_MINSTREL
33 bool "Use the Minstrel rate control algorithm"
35 This code is takes a wandering minstrel approach. Wander around the
36 different rates, singing wherever you can. And then, look at the
37 performance, and make a choice. Note that the wandering minstrel will
38 always wander in directions where he/she feels he/she will get paid
39 the best for his/her work.
41 config MADWIFI_RCA_SAMPLERATE
42 bool "Use the SampleRate rate control algorithm"
44 SampleRate decides on the transmission bit-rate based on the past
45 history of performance; it keeps a record of the number of successive
46 failures, the number of successful transmits and the total transmission
47 time along with the destination for that bit-rate. Stale samples are
48 removed based on a EWMA windowing mechanism. If in the sampling
49 process, no successful acknowledgment is received or the number of
50 packets sent is multiple of 10 on a specific link, it transmits the
51 packet with the highest rate which has not failed 4 successive times.
52 Other than that it transmits packets at the rate which has the lowest
53 average transmission time.
