From 651be26f2daf31e61faf4b55ada709cf39ec76a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olivier Hochreutiner Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2006 03:13:55 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipw2200: wireless extension sensitivity threshold support The patch allows the user to set the handover threshold, i.e. the number of consecutively missed beacons that will trigger a roaming attempt. The disassociation threshold is set to 3 times the handover threshold. Signed-off-by: Olivier Hochreutiner Signed-off-by: Zhu Yi Signed-off-by: John W.
