Sorry, I've been busy. I'm pretty sure these issues are the last ones.

As to the usefulness of this function, I am testing in infrastructure, not
ad-hoc, mode, and the output matches the average rate in the log files if
debugging is enabled. If the address in u.sta.bssid is not correct, which
address should I be using? I still maintain that the user is entitled to
know the transmission rate from user space even if debugging is turned off,
and that this function is needed.

I didn't say infrastructure wasn't gonna work. That's the one that should work. However, adhoc probably won't.

Sorry, I misread your previous comment.

Why is txrate in the sta_info structure an int? I think it should be a small, positive integer. Would it not be better as a u8, or a u16 if you think a larger range is needed?
