Dan sent me some more info...
{{{
Hi,
The patch you sent will not solve the particular problem I'm seeing,
as ndx is -1, but sn->num_rates is 0, meaning setting ndx to 0 will
probably cause a null pointer exception later on when the code tries
to access data in the sn->rates[] vector.
I have come up with a patch which fixes the problem. It's not a very
nice fix, more of a kludge really, but it keeps the driver running,
and I only see ath_rate_findrate fail about once every hour or so
anyway.
