   3 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel: fix sampling/reporting of CCK rates
   4  in HT mode
   5
   6 Long/short preamble selection cannot be sampled separately, since it
   7 depends on the BSS state. Because of that, sampling attempts to
   8 currently not used preamble modes are not counted in the statistics,
   9 which leads to CCK rates being sampled too often.
  10
  11 Fix statistics accounting for long/short preamble by increasing the
  12 index where necessary.
  13 Fix excessive CCK rate sampling by dropping unsupported sample attempts.
  14
  15 This improves throughput on 2.4 GHz channels
