Dear Simon

I have read your patches on adding supports for MCS rates, both iw and compat-
wireless, it seems interesting.

For evaluation purpose, I have added the patches to Compat-wireless and IW. It 
seems compiling and running fine.

But when I tried to set up the rate, through iw set bitrates command, it does 
not work. Please refer to the following dumping message for further details:

I have tested both with ack and noack, but it still does not work
Both AP and STA are in WDS.

Can you check for me whether the set command is correct and whether it can work 
in AP/STA mode ?

Once again, Thanks you very much for your kind helps and considerations and I 
look forward to receiving information from you.

Yours sincerely

Le
