From 172710bf8305c1b145796e34426c865480884024 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Greear Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:05:43 -0800 Subject: mac80211: Warn users if HT fails because of freq mismatch. I have a netgear WNDR3700 that appears to have an off-by-four bug in how it fills out the hti->control_chan (I configure the AP to channel 11, it reports 15 as control_chan). Poke a message into the kernel logs to give users a clue as to why they are not getting the expected channel-type or rate. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear Signed-off-by: John W.
