This makes minstrel the default rate control algorithm for mac80211. For more information see: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/mac80211/RateControl/minstrel If someone can come up with a better algorithm they get a prize (undisclosed).

This option affects code generation in mac80211, when

selected some functions are marked "noinline" to allow

easier debugging of problems in the transmit and receive

of function calls in the code, but is otherwise safe to

enable.
