Subject: mac80211: add config tweak for tx bursting when using VHT
X-Git-Url: http://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fluka.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=8650201f10afe83387fd6cde00b08172172eeba3

mac80211: add config tweak for tx bursting when using VHT

By default, set BE tx queue TXOP limit to 1.0 in the hostapd config
Many vendor drivers are doing similar things to boost throughput.
On MT7612 under ideal conditions, it improves tx throughput from 470 Mbit/s
to about 570 Mbit/s.
