Hi Mario, Do you know who is the author of this patch? Why he doesn't submit it? And are there any drawbacks by calling that function?
I could SRU the patch to Ubuntu kernel(4.8/4.10), but it's a little bit risky to submit it to upstream if I don't understand the patch well. To setup the test environment takes time, I can try verifying it next week(we are on holiday next Monday and Tuesday). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1692836 Title: Dell XPS 9360 wifi 5G performance is poor Status in HWE Next: Fix Committed Status in HWE Next xenial series: Fix Committed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: TX throughput is not good in Ubuntu in IEEE 802.11ac mode.
