Hi Larry,

With this patch included and pid the rate goes up to 24Mb/s, but the
connection is stable. Without this patch is is only up to 11Mb/s. The
connection is still unusable with minstrel, it goes up too fare. It
starts with 24Mb/s and the connection drops. After some time it goes up
to 54Mb/s, but then it goes down again and the connection is working
again for a minute till the procedure begins again.

What do you mean with rc_stats ?

Complete iwconfig output with minstrel (No connection):
