While looking through some older stlc45xx code from the maemo garage I found 
something strange:

In line 1984 I found this code:
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
	rate = ieee80211_get_tx_rate(stlc->hw, info);
	data->aloft[i] = rate->hw_value;
}

If I understand this code this means that all retries will be send with the 
same transmission speed. Other drivers (ath5k for example) use different retry 
speeds to allow ministrel (the new rate control algorithm) to speed up txrate 
detection:

drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c, line 1215:
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
	rate = ieee80211_get_alt_retry_rate(sc->hw, info, i);
	if (!rate)
		break;

	mrr_rate[i] = rate->hw_value;
	mrr_tries[i] = info->control.rates[i + 1].count;
}

Would it be possible to do something for the stlc45xx too ?
