Description kristjanbb 2017-08-22 17:38:57 UTC
Created attachment 490172 [details, diff]
Add config enables for 802.11n and 802.11ac if use ap or p2p is set

net-wireless/wpa_supplicant with use ap or p2p support fails to enable 802.11n and 802.11ac leading to abysmal performance when using either AP or P2P (in GO mode) features on modern WiFi hardware.

This can trivially be fixed by adding.

Kconfig_style_config IEEE80211N
Kconfig_style_config IEEE80211AC

Either conditionally or only if ap or p2p is enabled.

This does not effect client performance.

If you complement this to PR #5236, I could possibly include it.

How would I go about adding this to existing PR?

Just add your lines as comments

Ohh, guess I was overthinking it. I added a comment with just the needed configure lines to PR #5236, it would be nice to have them in the -9999 as well as the 2.6-r3.

Looks good, ty.
