I've been testing the driver for a few time with AMD64/CURRENT. A
few time ago I started to see messages like :

bwn0: unsupported rate 0

I've checked the code and I found it seems to fail when trying to
check the TX rate at if_bw.c:9561 (in bwn_ieeerate2hwrate
routine the rate parameter is 0). I checked where bwn_ieeerate2hwrate
is called, to see how 'rate' is calculated. This is where I got lost :(

My AP is FreeBSD 8.0 box with an atheros card. My hostapd works
with both WPA2-PSK and WPA2-EAP (although
I thinks this is not the problem) but with default values for rates
and friends. I then forced my hostapd to use only a subset of transmit
rates (with supported_rates and basic_rates) with no luck.

My laptop is a DELL D630 with a BCM4310 UART adapter.

Any need info will be provided and any help will be appreciated.

Best regards,

Gus
