Hmm, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but according to my
reading of the code, minstrel only uses hw->max_rate_tries
and not wiphy->retry_{short,long}. Also it looks like the only
drivers that poke at these values only use it for failure
indication when they don't support accurate tx status reporting.
You can try the pid controller for now, it directly uses these
settings.

Unlearn iwpriv -- ath5k will never support it.
