NAME

6       rate_control_send_low - helper for drivers for management/no-ack frames
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bool rate_control_send_low(struct ieee80211_sta * sta, void * priv_sta,
10                                  struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control * txrc);
11

ARGUMENTS

13       sta
14           struct ieee80211_sta pointer to the target destination. Note that
15           this may be null.
16
17       priv_sta
18           private rate control structure. This may be null.
19
20       txrc
21           rate control information we sholud populate for mac80211.
22

DESCRIPTION

24       Rate control algorithms that agree to use the lowest rate to send
25       management frames and NO_ACK data with the respective hw retries should
26       use this in the beginning of their mac80211 get_rate callback. If true
27       is returned the rate control can simply return. If false is returned we
28       guarantee that sta and sta and priv_sta is not null.
29
30       Rate control algorithms wishing to do more intelligent selection of
31       rate for multicast/broadcast frames may choose to not use this.
