From 72a8a3edd630995662bdc85957206685f376f9c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 03:10:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: reduce the number of retries for nullfunc probing Since nullfunc frames are transmitted as unicast frames, they're more reliable than the broadcast probe requests, so we need fewer retries to figure out whether the AP is really gone.
