Subject: [wt PATCH 4/5] libertas: fix association with some APs by using extended rates
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:16:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1280470561.14523.13.camel@dcbw.foobar.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1280470034.14523.4.camel@dcbw.foobar.com>

Some APs get pissy if you don't send the firmware the extended rates
in the association request's rates TLV.  Found this on a Linksys
WRT54G v2; it denies association with status code 18 unless you
add the extended rates too.  The old driver did this, but it got
lost in the cfg80211 conversion.
