Commit 0d528d8 by Felix Fietkau, entitled "mac80211: improve the rate control
API", causes the rtlwifi-family of drivers to be unable to connect to an 802.11g
network. A bisection led to this commit, which was confirmed by reversing the patch.
The drivers can connect to a 802.11n networks, which is why the problem has gone
undetected from kernel 3.10 till now.
These drivers use the rate-control mechanism in their firmware. I suspect that
this is causing the problem. What actions do the drivers need to take that were
not required before this patch?
