+Atheros wireless support
|

|
|
+CONFIG_ATHEROS
|
||
|
|
+ Say Y here if you intend to attach an Atheros Cardbus or PCI
|
||
|
|
+ wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer. This driver
|
||
|
|
+ support the standard Linux Wireless Extensions.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
+ You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
|
||
|
|
+ configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works:
|
||
|
|
+ <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
|
||
|
|
+ be called ath_pci.o If unsure, say N.

+Rate control algorithm
|
||
|
|
+CONFIG_ATHEROS_RATE_SAMPLE
|
||
|
|
+ Rate control algorithms determine how the transmission rate is
|
||
|
|
+ selected based on the quality of the connection.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
+ SampleRate chooses the bitrate it predicts will provide the most
|
||
|
|
+ throughput based on estimates of the expected per-packet transmission
|
||
|
|
+ time for each bitrate. SampleRate periodically sends packets at
|
||
|
|
+ bitrates other than the current one to estimate when another bitrate
|
||
|
|
+ will provide better performance. SampleRate switches to another
|
||
|
|
+ bitrate when its estimated per-packet transmission time becomes
|
||
|
|
+ smaller than the current bitrate's. SampleRate reduces the number of
|
||
|
|
+ bitrates it must sample by eliminating those that could not perform
|
||
|
|
+ better than the one currently being used. SampleRate also stops
|
||
|
|
+ probing at a bitrate if it experiences several successive losses.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
+ Also available are Atsushi Onoe's rate control algorithm and Adaptive
|
||
|
|
+ Multi Rate Retry rate control algorithm.
