From: Felix Fietkau Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2012 01:04:52 +0000 (+0200) Subject: ath9k: fix a tx rate duration calculation bug X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=76591bea9714a58d8924154068c78d702eb2cb17;p=linux-beck.git ath9k: fix a tx rate duration calculation bug The rate pointer variable for a rate series is used in a loop before it is initialized. This went unnoticed because it was used earlier for the RTS/CTS rate. This bug can lead to the wrong PHY type being passed to the duration calculation function.
