4 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
5 the questions about amateur radio.
7 +Atheros wireless support
9 + Say Y here if you intend to attach an Atheros Cardbus or PCI
10 + wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer. This driver
11 + support the standard Linux Wireless Extensions.
13 + You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
14 + configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works:
15 + <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
17 + To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
18 + be called ath_pci.o If unsure, say N.
20 +Rate control algorithm
21 +CONFIG_ATHEROS_RATE_SAMPLE
22 + Rate control algorithms determine how the transmission rate is
23 + selected based on the quality of the connection.
25 + SampleRate chooses the bitrate it predicts will provide the most
26 + throughput based on estimates of the expected per-packet transmission
27 + time for each bitrate. SampleRate periodically sends packets at
28 + bitrates other than the current one to estimate when another bitrate
29 + will provide better performance. SampleRate switches to another
30 + bitrate when its estimated per-packet transmission time becomes
31 + smaller than the current bitrate's. SampleRate reduces the number of
32 + bitrates it must sample by eliminating those that could not perform
33 + better than the one currently being used. SampleRate also stops
34 + probing at a bitrate if it experiences several successive losses.
36 + Also available are Atsushi Onoe's rate control algorithm and Adaptive
37 + Multi Rate Retry rate control algorithm.
