I seem to vaguely remember discussing using mandatory rates, did we? Also this seems like a last resort fallback, I'd really also try using the probe response information -- we should have that information still at this point. But maybe that doesn't make sense -- fix the APs instead! I'd really like a (debug?) message here though. This is a stupid AP, and I will need to know if I'm debugging some throughput issues etc. johannes
