From: Karl Beldan <karl.beldan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ATM minstrel_ht does not check whether a sampling rate is supported. Unsupported rates attempts can trigger when there are holes in bitfields of supported MCSes belonging to the same group (e.g many devices are MCS32 capable without MCS33->39 capable, also we systematically have a hole for CCK rates). I originally replaced an unsupported sample index with the fls of the bitfield of supported indexes of the sta current sample group, instead, this change simply drops the sample attempt, as suggested by Felix. This is not a problem in minstrel which fills a per STA sample table with only supported rates (though only at init).
