From bb52a653eaef4aee877b2fa36de8699926f788bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 18:58:03 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] ieee80211softmac: Fix setting of initial transmit rates There is a bug in ieee80211softmac that always sets the user rate to 11Mbs, no matter the capabilities of the device. This bug was probably beneficial as long as the bcm43xx cards were rate limited; however, most are now capable of relatively high speeds. This patch fixes that bug and eliminates an assert that is no longer needed. Once the cards are capable of full OFDM speeds, the 24 Mbs rate will be changed to 54 Mbs.
