Hi again,

I forgot to mention that those warning from mac80211 (the associated
comments in the code are 'RC is busted' or 'uh huh?') seems to somehow
disable completely the rate control: 'iw wlan0 link' gives 'tx bitrate:'
with nothing after. Furthermore, I loose the network from time to time
on reason 7. I went back to kernel 3.8.0: if there is enough traffic
continuously, the link is stable but I loose it randomly when there is
no traffic.

I made more debug on the 3.8.0 kernel, the first warning correspond to
the following test:
(info->control.rates[i].idx) 15 >= (sband->n_bitrates) 12

Please tell me what test I can make to find the source of this problem.

Thanks in advance,
Vincent Brillault
