2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Felix Fietkau <[email protected]> commit 4dc217df68a17a57f8464c74c1b4785e40bddf77 upstream. When a client connects in HT mode but does not provide any valid MCS rates, the function that finds the next sample rate gets stuck in an infinite loop. Fix this by falling back to legacy rates if no usable MCS rates are found. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: John W.
