I don't think using the advertised supported rates for actual rate control is the right approach. I'd much rather have a separate attribute. Also parsing mgmt-TX frames is plain ugly, and won't work at all since those frames don't necessarily advertise rates themselves. Finally, I think setting the global rate control stuff will be bound to have a whole bunch of ugly races with actual TX -- and remember that "wlan0" might be connected to an 11b AP at the same time!! I really think this needs a different approach: * use a new attribute for the TX rate for scan/mgmt-tx * use per-frame rate control * figure out separately how ath9k-htc should work johannes -- 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
