Re: [PATCH V3] mac80211: Add support for SIOCGIWRATE ioctl to provide rate information

Why is txrate in the sta_info structure an int? I think it should be a
small, positive integer. Would it not be better as a u8, or a u16 if you
think a larger range is needed?

u8 is probably fine, but then last_txrate and last_nonerp_idx should be 
changed to u8 too plus all the stuff referring to the rate indexes.

But there's more interesting things to do, like implementing siwrate so we can 
get rid of the corresponding prism2 ioctl.
