Your current kernels configuration (.config and linux/autoconf.h)
|
||
|
|
are always respected when compiling external modules. Because
|
||
|
|
of this if you are using an old kernel which preferred the
|
||
|
|
PID rate control algorithm we cannot force it to use minstrel
|
||
|
|
instead. Minstrel is now the default rate control algorithm
|
||
|
|
and we want you to use it. To let you use it we redefine here
|
||
|
|
the CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT to CONFIG_COMPAT_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT
|
||
|
|
and define CONFIG_COMPAT_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT on config.mk.
|
||
|
|
Through the compat autoconf we then get it also defined there
|
||
|
|
at compilation time.
