Host driver can configure maximum tx-credits and firmware will return credits immediately so less flush-mgmt hacks are needed on host. Supports reporting tx-rate to the sending stack. Supports configuring the firmware tx-buffer count below 1024." I dug my archer C7 v2 out of a box (which as best as I remember, has an ath10k in it) and darn it, cant find the power supply. http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-Archer-C7-Wireless-Gigabit/dp/B00BUSDVBQ/ref= =3Dsr_1_1?ie=3DUTF8&qid=3D1424541340&sr=3D8-1&keywords=3Dtp-link+archer+c7 Also, minstrel-blues is looking promising and I hope it lands in mainline shortly. I am really not up to doing a full cerowrt-like release of anything for general use, but I actually did do a build and test it on a wndr3800 - am very impressed with the forwarding rates I got out of 3.18, minstrel-blues appears to work, and darn it, where the heck is the power supply for this tp-link thingi.... --=20 Dave T=C3=A4ht http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Upcoming_Talks
