The initial rate for STA's using rc80211_simple is set to the last
rate in the rate table. This is too fast for the bcm43xx-mac80211
driver. To correct this situation without affecting any other driver,
an initial_rate parameter is added to the rc80211_simple module.
What if two different mac80211 device drivers need two different initial rates?
I'm not sure if that's useful at all. The algorithm will migrate
away from the initial value very quickly anyway. What about simply
using 1MBit for B-PHYs and (what's the lowest OFDM rate?) 9M? for
G and A PHYs.
Although the algorithm will migrate away from the initial value very quickly, it doesn't happen
quickly enough for the current version of bcm43xx-mac80211 to authenticate.
I tried setting the lowest OFDM rate (6M) and it didn't work either. There is a timeout in
wpa_supplicant waiting for the WPA handshake. For my BCM4311 to make a connection, the rate must
start at 1M.
