Hi Sujith,
Thanks for your reply.Yes we cannot cleanly send the actual
status to mac80211.
This patch just takes care for displaying the txrate and appropriately
sets mac80211 rate control flags,but completely ignores long retries.I
had tested it , except retries the MCS index , txrate in userspace
matches with the txrate reported in debug statistics.
Is there chance of any possible fix for this ?
