Could you please separate SIOCSIWRATE from the rest. I did not go through the details yet, but I do not think the proposed change here would match the the way rate control was designed in the Devicescape stack and I would not like to see this getting in before more careful review and explanation of how this is expected to work. The way I see rate settings working is that the control would be applied to the rate control algorithm and not to the list of rates itself. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
