Drivers with software rate control can directly use the selected multicast rate for multicast/broadcast frames and the minimal basic rate for management frames. But drivers with offloaded rate control algorithms must be informed about such upper layer decisions to configure the hardware/firmware. A new BSS_CHANGED_MCAST_RATE is introduced in mac80211 to automatically inform all drivers. ath10k can detect this event and forward it via WMI to the driver. The already existing BSS_CHANGED_BASIC_RATES can be used to select the management rate. Without the WMI commands, a low rate (not necessarily one from the basic rates) is used for bcast/mcast/management frames. This means that the /etc/config/wireless settings basic_rate and mcast_rate would have no effect on the rates selected by this driver for the mentioned frames. |

If you're new to Gluon and ready to get your feet wet, have a look at the Getting Started Guide.
Gluon's developers frequent an IRC chatroom at #gluon on hackint. There is also a webchat that allows for access from within your browser.
Issues & Feature requests
Before opening an issue, make sure to check whether any existing issues (open or closed) match. If you're suggesting a new feature, drop by on IRC or our mailinglist to discuss it first.
We maintain a Roadmap for the future development of Gluon.
Use a release!
Please refrain from using the master branch for anything else but development purposes!
Use the most recent release instead. You can list all releases by running git tag
and switch to one by running git checkout v2018.2 && make update.
If you're using the autoupdater, do not autoupdate nodes with anything but releases. If you upgrade using random master commits the nodes will break eventually.
