I just retested with this incremental (and whitespace-damaged) patch:
@@ -139,7 +139,9 @@ static void _rtl_rc_rate_set_series(struct
rtl_priv *rtlpriv,
(wireless_mode == WIRELESS_MODE_N_24G)))
rate->flags |= IEEE80211_TX_RC_MCS;
if (sta && sta->vht_cap.vht_supported &&
- (wireless_mode == WIRELESS_MODE_AC_5G))
+ ((wireless_mode == WIRELESS_MODE_AC_5G) ||
+ (wireless_mode == WIRELESS_MODE_AC_24G) ||
+ (wireless_mode == WIRELESS_MODE_AC_ONLY)))
rate->flags |= IEEE80211_TX_RC_VHT_MCS;
}
}
which brings it in line with Johannes' patch, and it does indeed still work.
I think marking it for stable is also the right thing to do - the
driver clearly doesn't work well in a wide-channel AC environment
otherwise, and I assume it's going to be more and more common..
