The current minstrel_ht rate control behavior is somewhat optimistic in
trying to find optimum TX rate. While this is usually fine for normal
Data frames, there are cases where a more conservative set of retry
parameters would be beneficial to make the connection more robust.
EAPOL frames are crit

I understand that David generally doesn't use stable tags, and just
sends them separately to the stable tree).
This fixes both
Linus, Jouni, all,
Thanks everyone. I've applied this patch to my mac80211 tree - I'll send
it out to davem tomorrow I think.
Jouni, given that hwsim uses minstrel as well, perhaps we could have a
test case in the wpa_supplicant tests in some way that checks this? I'm
thinking we could hook into
