Incorrect.
999.999.0.636 does have Tx Rate. It doesn't have Rx Rate.
10.1.467.2-1 has both.

Unfortunately this isn't as simple as it seems.
Stats are received via wmi_stats_event. This structure contains fields
describing number of pdev/vdev/beer/bcn stat entries. All entries
(structures) are appended in certain order after this header. This
means if you change length of structure type you skew the calculation
of all succeeding entries.
IOW this means this patch breaks peer stats for 999.999.0.636.
I'm quite positive wmi_pdev_stats is also broken. This implies vdev
stats and peer stats position calculation is skewed in the first place
and you get garbage.
The main problem here is there are subtle yet crazy binary
incompatibilities between these firmwares.
The best way would probably be to implement wmi as an abstraction
layer with completely different backends for different firmware
branches/revisions. Otherwise you sign up for some pain..
