mac80211: dynamic short slot time for MBSSs
The standard mandates mesh STAs to set the ERP Short Slot Time capability info bit in beacons to 0. Even though this is their way of disallowing short slot time for mesh STAs, there should be no harm in enabling it if we determine all STAs in the current MBSS support ERP rates. Increases throughput about 20% for legacy rates when enabled. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
