Re: compat-wireless and minstrel

I see what you're doing there. That didn't quite work, but I'm fairly confident this one will. I'm running my long term test now. Note the added call to rate_control_init() when the rate is updated. This *should* be rate_control_rate_update, but it doesn't look to me like that method is implemented in minstrel or the PID code.

I was hoping for more of an "ah-ha!" response. =)

It worked well initially, but when I let it run overnight it fell back into that same failure mode.
