I went back and looked at this, and now I remember why I wrote the code the way I did. The Realtek firmware handles rate control, so once I set IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL, I never see rate_flags & IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_SHORT_PREAMBLE nor tx_info->control_short_preamble. In order to know whether to tell the firmware to request short preamble or not, I needed to track whether the sta supports it. Do you have a suggestion for how to handle this in a better way?
