Use IEEE80211_RATE_MANDATORY_G instead of IEEE80211_RATE_MANDATORY_B to get all mandatory rates in 2.4 GHz band. It is safe to do so because ERP mandatory rates are a superset of HR/DSSS mandatory rates. Also limit to OFDM rates for 10 MHz and 5 MHz channels as originally intended by commit 74608aca4d82e.
I don't understand this. Why should all ERP (Clause 18, 11g) rates be mandatory for the users of this? The way I see it, this would make us assume that all 2.4 GHz clients support ERP in IBSS, which may not be true? johannes
