We are working on critical industrial networks where a specific (generally high) bandwidth is required. Supressing low MCSs (that are not able to handle the desired bandwidth) allows us to be sure that the wireless link can sustain the requested bandwidth. If the radio conditions do not allow high enough MCSs, we prefer increase the AP density rather than not being able to communicate at the requested speed. > I think my comments to him apply to this too - see the thread at > http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/143789 Thanks for the link, I didn't noticed Ben Grear's request. According to the given patches, it seems the targeted goal is quite similar. So your comments also apply on my demand. Anyway, thanks for your answer. Cedric
