I will separate each pair of S/G in separate patch so it will be easier
to discuss each set separately. I will provide the patch this weekend
taking into account the comments provided
Thanks

the attached patch will add support to handle these iw_handle
SIOC[S/G]IWRATE, SIOC[S/G]IWTXPOW and SIOC[S/G]IWPOWER. It also added
some changes in ieee80211_ioctl_giwrange function to report supported
channels and rates. a call to ieee80211_hw_config is needed to infor
the low level driver about these changes, I guess we might need to add
flag to indicate which parameters was changed so the low level driver
does not need to make extra calls.
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.
