   4 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "rt2800: use TXOP_BACKOFF for probe frames"
   5
   6 This reverts commit fb47ada8dc3c30c8e7b415da155742b49536c61e.
   7
   8 In some situations when we set TXOP_BACKOFF, the probe frame is
   9 not sent at all. What it worse then sending probe frame as part
  10 of AMPDU and can degrade 11n performance to 11g rates.
