It's incorrect to compare HighestRate with 0x0b twice in the following
manner "if (HighestRate > 0x0b) ... else if (HighestRate > 0x0b) ...". The
"else if" branch is constantly false. The second comparision should be
with 0x03 according to the max_rate_idx in ODM_RAInfo_Init().

I agree that the original code is wrong; however, I prefer that changes that alter the execution should be tested. I see no evidence that such testing has been done. It probably does not matter because a highest rate between 3 and 0xb means 802.11g is in use, and that may no longer be a real-world situation.

With any future patches, you need to indicate if testing has been done.
