I do not think this particular rate control algorithm is needed. A patch has been submitted that
will allow the user to use the SIOCSIWRATE ioctl to lock in a rate. In addition, a patch that
changes rc80211_simple to set the initial rate to the lowest supported value has also been
submitted. With these two alternatives, everything that this proposed module does is supported in
other ways.
