Which vendors are you talking about. Are you planing to add support for any of 
them.

We have a UHF wifi pilot project and was thinking of doing a frequency down 
convert to UHF.

Hi!

Thanks for your constructive feedback!

First, I've done some renaming things. IEEE80211_RATECTL_OPT_* became
IEEE80211_RATECTL_CAP_* and options in ieee80211_ratectl
became ir_capabilities.

As for max4msframelen , I re-added this field and also ported
ath_max_4ms_framelen[4][32] to ieee80211_ratectl.

An error is also corrected (about initialization of ir_capabilities).

IEEE80211_RATECTL_OPT_MULTXCHAIN is used in ieee80211_ratectl_hascap_stbc()
to assist the determination of whether we can enable STBC.

uh... I also do the "double check" stuff. Do the ieee80211_ratectl_hascap_*
functions do
wrong things? And, I'm not very clear about the relation between STBC and
short-GI now.
It seems that I need some further reading. :)

Yeah... here my logic messed up. It's corrected.

It's already done.


Thanks!
