Okay, after reading your mail a second time I understood you... I think with removing the total bitrate for 802.11n we will just make the userspace interface more complex. You will have to look at four different things (flags, MCS, guard interval, legacy) just to get the bitrate, which will be the typical information the user wants to know. Is there anything nl80211 will gain if we don't put this value inside for all 802.11 ? We cannot drop it because of 802.11abg, so why not fill it with useful data ? Henning
