From b726604706ad88d8b28bc487e45e710f58cc19ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Copeland Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 21:55:18 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: warn and correct rate for unknown hw rate indexes ath5k sets up a mapping table from the hardware rate index to the rate index used by mac80211; however, we have seen some received frames with incorrect rate indexes. Such frames normally get dropped with a warning in __ieee80211_rx(), but it doesn't include enough information to track down the error. This patch adds a warning to hw_to_driver_rix for any lookups that result in a rate index of -1, then returns a valid rate so the frame can be processed.
