I can't believe I didn't realize this before, but ...

I think this is a bit strange?

I mean, why not just skip the

/* Default to all rates enabled */
for (i = 0; i < NUM_NL80211_BANDS; i++) {
[...]
}

code? Right now you're first setting it, and then clearing it again when
is_beacon_tx_rate is set ...


I'd prefer a "default_all_enabled" parameter, and then call the above
loop conditionally on it (perhaps moving it to a separate function to
not have all the deep indentation to worry about).

Never mind that comment ... it wasn't there before, I was confused :)

And maybe that should be a separate patch.

Neat.. Will split the patch and send a new series.
