Subject: [RFC/T] mac80211: Implementation of SIOCSIWRATE

From: [email protected]

The WEXT ioctl SIOCSIWRATE is not implemented in mac80211. This patch
adds the missing routine. It supports the 'auto' keyword, fixed rates,
and the combination of 'auto' and a fixed rate to select an upper bound.

I did a quick check for a description of the hostap (prism2) ioctl's, but didn't find them, and I'm
not sure how these parameters are used. Could you suggest a reference?

Thanks,

force_unicast_rateidx is exactly as it sounds - it forces the rate of unicast
frames to a particular rate. max_ratectrl_rateidx also does as you'd expect -
it sets an upper bound for the rates that are used. These two are exactly
what you need to implement siwrate as specified in the iwconfig man page and
it works for client, adhoc, and master mode. Just grep for these two fields
and you'll see how the code sets and uses it.

No. Use force_unicast_rateidx and max_ratectrl_rateidx.
