hostapd sets minimum values for CWmin/CWmax/AIFS and maximum for TXOP.
The code for applying those values had a few bugs leading to bogus values,
which caused significant latency and packet loss.

+
+nl80211 uses a different queue mapping from hostap, so AC indexes need to
+be converted.

+Subject: [PATCH] driver_nl80211: fix regulatory limits for wmm cwmin/cwmax
+ values
+
+The internal WMM AC parameters use just the exponent of the CW value, while
+nl80211 reports the full CW value.
+This led to completely bogus CWmin/CWmax values in the WMM IE when a regulatory
+limit was present. Fix this by converting the value to the exponent before
+passing it on
