Please compile and load rc80211_simple. I think we should change this error message, as obviously people don't understand that the issue is a failed module request for the rc module. Maybe add another message like "Please install a mac80211 rate control module, such as rc80211_simple" if the error code is -ENOENT (-2) Another suggestion? -- Greetings Michael.
