But I'd like to see a solution to the problem reported by Andy in the patch. One of the possible solutions could be adding a "this is a special rate control alg which shouldn't be selected automatically" flag to rate control algs and not selecting such algorithms in ieee80211_try_rate_control_ops_get when 'name' is NULL.

That's a possible solution too, though not an ideal one. Currently, you can use module alias to change default rate control algorithm - at least for simple setups. This would break it. > > I'd really like to see that in the patch. Seems to be a real issue. > > Except that we have no API for that (should be in cfg80211.) We will need an API for changing of rate control alg from the user space, sure - but that's not an issue here, this patch is purely mac80211 thing.
