-+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: add AQL support for broadcast packets
-+
-+Excessive broadcast traffic with little competing unicast traffic can easily
-+flood hardware queues, leading to throughput issues. Additionally, filling
-+the hardware queues with too many packets breaks FQ for broadcast data.
-+Fix this by enabling AQL for broadcast packets.
