[PATCH] hostapd: Add cell_density data rates option

2020-09-26 Thread Nick Lowe
Add a cell_density option to configure data rates for normal, high and very high cell density wireless deployments. The purpose of using a minimum basic/mandatory data rate that is higher than 6 Mb/s, or 5.5 Mb/s (802.11b compatible), in high cell density environments is to transmit broadcast/mult
