[PATCH 8/8] staging: brcm80211: fill in proper rx rate in mac80211 rx status

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The brcmsmac driver supports different rates on 5GHz but this is not
taken into account when providing the rate index in the receive
status information passed to mac80211.
