    ath5k: warn and correct rate for unknown hw rate indexes · b7266047
    Bob Copeland authored
    ath5k sets up a mapping table from the hardware rate index to
    the rate index used by mac80211; however, we have seen some
    received frames with incorrect rate indexes.  Such frames
    normally get dropped with a warning in __ieee80211_rx(),
    but it doesn't include enough information to track down the
    error.
    
    This patch adds a warning to hw_to_driver_rix for any lookups
    that result in a rate index of -1, then returns a valid rate so
    the frame can be processed.
