However, this magic value is not a rate like the others and the magic can simply be ignored/skipped at this late stage. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter --- Signed-off-by: John W. Linville --- This is the version I've merged. The v2 version conflicted with "mac80211: use min rate as basic rate for buggy APs" (commit 3432f9233704a66e6067944339a311744243707d).
