Lost sync to cell due to max retries

[saikat]

Hello,

There is a parameter in the linux driver code for aironet called LostSyncMaxRetry

Does this mean that the card "assumes" that it has lost connection from the cell whenever a packets max retry limit reaches, and therefore stops sending packets any further until the next beacon is released??????? If true, what is the rationale behind such a design? Other cards, like Orinoco does not do so. Please throw some light on this ...

Thanks.

As per my knowledge it sets the max. number of retries to reestablish the signal.
