This fix sets the basic rate set parameter for IBSS creator when the
basic rates are not explicitly specified in the user space.

Shouldn't cfg80211 do this?

Hi Johannes ,

Thank you for your suggestion,just found out ,i think its already there to configure basic rates (if the user had not expicitly specified the basic rates in user space) in the nl80211_join_ibss(nl80211.c) , but the basic rates does not seems to get set there.I had checked its status in mac80211 in function ieee80211_ibss_join function , its still zero and I thought of calling it there itself , but the basic rate was not properly set for 2Ghz, so called it here and I had tested it ,and everything working fine.
Pleas correct me if I am wrong .

with thanks,

shafi
