Message-ID: <20231230045105.91351-6-sergeantsagara@protonmail.com> Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2023 04:51:51 +0000 From: Rahul Rameshbabu <sergeantsagara@...tonmail.com> To: Kalle Valo <kvalo@...nel.org> Cc: linux-wireless@...r.kernel.org, b43-dev@...ts.infradead.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Rahul Rameshbabu <sergeantsagara@...tonmail.com> Subject: [PATCH wireless 5/5] wifi: b43: Support advertising lack of QoS capability Add b43_qos_not_supported functionality for disabling QoS. Currently, the function checks an array to see if the chip id matches a value in the array. If so, disable QoS. bcm4331 appears to lack QoS support. When queues that are not of the default "best effort" priority are selected, traffic appears to not transmit out of the hardware while no errors are returned. This behavior is present among all the other priority queues: video, voice, and background. While this can be worked around by setting a kernel parameter, the default behavior is problematic for most users and may be difficult to debug. This patch offers a working out-of-box experience for bcm4331 users.
