Hello all,
  i was testing some features of ralink rt2860 driver. i saw a bit weird
results. below is the result of what i saw. The throughput achieved doesn't
change much when the MPDU aggregation in an AMPDU goes from 3 to 8. And
also, the driver doesn't seem to aggregate more than 8 MPDU's in an AMPDU
even when the BA win size is set to max of 64. i was testing this by fixing
the rate at MCS 15

 Is there anything else i need to do to force the driver to aggregate more
MPDU's in an AMPDU ?



BA Win Size           No. of MPDU's            Throughput(Mbps)
                                aggregated

1. 64                             7-8                            85.7

2. 32                             6-7                            84.2

3. 16                             6-7                            81.7

4.  8                              6-7                            79.9
