There are devices that don't need rate control algorithm, for example wl1271 (see IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL). A better solution is instead to fix rate_control_alloc() to handle this, or something similar. -- Kalle Valo -- 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
