Has that changed? I hope not. I don't like the idea of forcing the lowest rate in mac80211; we should allow rate control algorithms to be improved to do more intelligent selection of rate at least for multicast/broadcast frames. That might also be of use for some (likely post-association) unicast management frames since their use is going to increase in the future. - Jouni -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
