From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2017 14:15:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: unconditionally start new netdev queues with iTXQ support When internal mac80211 TXQs aren't supported, netdev queues must always started out started even when driver queues are stopped while the interface is added. This is necessary because with the internal TXQ support netdev queues are never stopped and packet scheduling/dropping is done in mac80211.
