Right, a patch series introducing mpath switching based on RSSI is in the pipeline. > So the 'iw dev wlan1 station dump' command will show the tx and rx bit rate > of the last transmission rather than the negotiated bit rate of the current > link budget... There is no "negotiated bit rate" or concept of "link rate". 'station dump' just shows the last_tx_rate for each station. The same series mentioned above starts tracking average tx rate for each station, which should give you and the mpath logic a better idea of the link quality.
