From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> There are situations where we don't have the necessary rate control information yet for station entries, e.g. when associating. This currently doesn't really happen due to the dummy station handling; explicitly disabling rate control when it's not initialised will allow us to remove dummy stations.
