* The controller basically computes the following:
*
- * adj = CP * err + CI * err_avg + CD * (err - last_err)
+ * adj = CP * err + CI * err_avg + CD * (err - last_err) * (1 + sharpening)
*
* where
* adj adjustment value that is used to switch TX rate (see below)
* err current error: target vs. current failed frames percentage
* last_err last error
* err_avg average (i.e. poor man's integral) of recent errors
+ * sharpening non-zero when fast response is needed (i.e. right after
+ * association or no frames sent for a long time), heading
+ * to zero over time
* CP Proportional coefficient
* CI Integral coefficient
* CD Derivative coefficient
