Subject: [PATCH] minstrel: fix warning if lowest supported rate index is not 0
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2008 15:35:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200812221535.32032.chunkeey@web.de> (raw)

This patch fixes the following WARNING (caused by rix_to_ndx): "
>WARNING: at net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel.c:69 minstrel_rate_init+0xd2/0x33a [mac80211]()
>[...]

> nl80211_new_station+0x1b3/0x20b [cfg80211]

The reason is that I'm experimenting with "g" only mode on a 802.11 b/g card.

Therefore rate_lowest_index returns 4 (= 6Mbit, instead of usual 0 = 1Mbit).
Since mi->r array is initialized with zeros in minstrel_alloc_sta,
rix_to_ndx has a hard time to find the 6Mbit entry and will trigged the WARNING.

nbd?

Is this the correct? or should we initialize mi->r array in minstrel_alloc_sta?

Johannes,

yeah, this fixes the problems I described in 
"[PATCH] ath9k: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in ath_rate_get".
sorry for the noise!
