[Make-wifi-fast] Scaling airtime weight in dynamic mode

[Joachim Bodensohn]

Hi,

here the actual conversation following the initial e-Mail. 
It shows good results of scaling airtime in dynamic mode with
 " Linux wifiap1 5.14.2-051402-generic #202109080331 SMP Wed Sep 8 07:35:12 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"

Cheers,
Joachim

Hi,
here it is. 
Is there a way to change airtime_bss_weight on the fly, without restarting hostapd?

Awesome! That's great to hear - thank you for testing! I think you may have forgotten to attach something, though... :)
