Huh? The first part was not specifically about the change, but about the approach used for switching on the feature. Module parameters are not intended for such things. Almost always (not counting debugging stuff) when you use a module parameter you do something wrong (yes, that includes ieee80211_regdom and ieee80211_japan_5ghz parameters in mac80211. And yes, I'm aware there are some rare cases where module parameters are useful). The actual change is another thing. I don't think that setting of the initial rate matters much - if the algorithm is good enough, it will quickly pick up the best rate independently of the initial rate. > I wrote the code the way I did because I thought > it was much better to allow a local solution rather than a global one. Use a specific rate control algorithm then.
