From ba3b9e5e8c7a12d8ea46cb4a8217c2e9b0720e9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helmut Schaa Date: Sat, 2 Oct 2010 11:32:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rt2x00: correctly set max_report_rates in rt61pci and rt2800 rt61pci and rt2800 devices can use up to 7 different rates per tx frame. However, the device uses a global fallback table. Hence, the rc algortihm cannot specify multiple rates to try but the device is able to report multiple rates (based on the retry table). Specify that behavior by correctly setting max_report_rates and max_rates. This makes rt2x00 and minstrel play nicer together.
