Thanks a lot! I'll do my best.

So, now I'll focus on the last patch - bitrate calculation.

My plan is:

- add new element like NL80211_RATE_INFO_BITRATE_HT with u32 data
- change nl80211_put_sta_rate() to fill both
  NL80211_RATE_INFO_BITRATE (with u16 value)
  and NL80211_RATE_INFO_BITRATE_HT (with u32 value)
- when bitrate not fit into u16, put 0 for u16 value and fill only u32

This opens migration path for the drivers and user space tools to the
new u32 representation without breaking existing code.

Comments?

Thanks, Vladimir
