openwrt-xburst/package/madwifi/patches/345-minstrel_sampling.patch
nbd 82bf60b712 madwifi: put an upper limit on the amount of sampling that minstrel should do when
the link changes its status from very good to slightly bad. the previous version
of the patch could have resulted in erratic rate control behavior when there
was a lot of sampling backlog.
