its the driver,  the rate is is taken as a HT rate,

 if (rx_stats->rs_rate & 0x80) {
                /* HT rate */
                rxs->flag |= RX_FLAG_HT;
                if (rx_stats->rs_flags & ATH9K_RX_2040)
                        rxs->flag |= RX_FLAG_40MHZ;
                if (rx_stats->rs_flags & ATH9K_RX_GI)
                        rxs->flag |= RX_FLAG_SHORT_GI;
                rxs->rate_idx = rx_stats->rs_rate & 0x7f;
                return 0;
        }

please provide lspci so that we can get the descriptor dump for rx-status.
also please whether your consistently getting elaborating how to
recreate the issue.
thanks.

[ath9k-devel] iwpriv and ath9k driver

[just login]

Hi,

I have a recent (daily) from compat-wireless and have the (ath9k AR9160) driver working fine.

I wanted to play with private extensions, if any - with iwpriv and see "No private ioctls" for the wlan0 interface. 

Is this expected or should I be using some compile time flags to enable visibility of private extensions to iwpriv for the ath9k driver.

Thanks
-J

[ath9k-devel] iwpriv and ath9k driver

[C. McPherson]

I am using iwpriv  (Private IOCTL's). You have to modify cfg80211 
(should be under net/wireless). I put my iwpriv's in the wext-compat.c 
file. You have to do this because ath9k uses mac80211 API and cfg80211 API.
