      iwlwifi: set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK in tx_flag · 062bee44
      Wey-Yi Guy 提交于
      When building tx command, always set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK
      for 5000 series and up.
      
      Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting
      and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is
      required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting,
      connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that
      initially attempted to address this:

          iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000
      
          Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended
          protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.
          Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
          especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
          TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.
      
      For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self
      protection.
