WILC driver currently applies some default configuration whenever the firmware is initialized, and sets the default preamble size to short. However, despite this passed option, firmware is also able to successfully connect to access points only using long preamble, so this setting does not really enforce short preambles and is misleading regarding applied configuration. Update default configuration and make it match the firmware behavior by passing the existing WILC_FW_PREAMBLE_AUTO value (2 instead of 0). The updated setting does not really alter firmware behavior since it is still capable to connect to both short preamble and long preamble access points, but at list the setting now expresses for real the corresponding firmware behavior. More info: it has been implemented to address the transmission (Tx) blackout issue observed in the 802.11b mode. The modification has no impact on the other modes, which will continue to work as they did in the previous implementation. This change will allow the 802.11b transmission (2, 5.5, 11Mbps) to use long preamble.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
