Is this a deliberate decision or just an oversight? You need to give more context. What driver, what kernel? A quick ack-grep ieee80211_ioctl_giwrate include/net include/linux \ net/wireless net/mac80211 \ drivers/net/wireless didn't reveal the function you've mentioned, at least not in the current wireless-testing kernel. -- http://www.holgerschurig.de
