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