Linville" Subject: [028/289] ath9k: Fix incorrect access of rate flags in RC In-Reply-To: <20101208005821.GA2922@kroah.com> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org 2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan commit 4fc4fbd1d9a05fa4f348b499aca3a6f8d3c9bbe6 upstream. The index variable to access the rate flags should be obtained from the inner loop counter which corresponds to the rate table structure.This fixes the invalid rate selection i.e when the supported basic rate is invalid on a particular band and also the following warning message. Thanks to Raj for finding this out.
