The original behaviour was changed by the commit: 38b33707a1ec77f7b4c92ae41cfe93318014f5bf (in wireless-testing). The bug was identified by code review. And yep, this should have been mentioned in the commit log. Sorry about that. > ath9k: Maintain monotonicity of PER while going across different phy > > Monotonicity of packet error rate should be kept when moving > from one phy to another (legacy to ht, ht single stream to dual, > etc). Current code skips updating per for other phys. This is also a bug fix. Rate control gets bumpy when switching between APs operating in different modes. This was identified by internal testing. Hope this helps. Sujith
