Hello

I have been using pktgen for a while and I released that there is no=20
possibility to set a rate between  two whole numbers.

  I looked up the source code and I found out that the rate is stored in=20
a uint8_t. So, I made a quick-and-dirty change just to check if it is=20
possible to get a speed between two hole numbers. It seemed to work=20
properly.

  Is there a reason to use an uint8_t instead of a float, for example?

Thank you,
