I think the parameter for ibp_rate0 is just for setting it in the header (but I could be wrong). Regardless I am doing this, let me give you the exact source files I'm doing this in. Well, the ath_rate_* modules afaik do not honor the fixed rate settings. At least I've heard something about those being broken. The ibp_rate0 parameter set to 108 seems to be correct though. No clue why that doesn't work, you may have to debug ath_tx_findrix(). Adding a printf of the passed over rate and ridx should shed some light on this I guess. > Line 38 in this file: > http://projhinternet.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/projhinternet/src/callbacks.c?revision=69&view=markup > > And the setup_if function in this: > http://projhinternet.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/projhinternet/src/libinject.c?revision=69&view=markup > -- Bernhard
