Excuse the naive question, but if I were to try using a different
rate control algorithm than the default one, then how specifically
would I go about doing so? Currently I just do
kldload -v if_ath
Should I also (or instead?) run
kldload -v ath_rate_onoe
or something??
Ideally, I'd prefer not to have to change the default algorithm, but
something with the current "ath" driver is just not working well for me.
