[WLANware] Some internal questions

[Sven-Ola Tuecke]

Hey,

TX auto selection: you mean "neighbour rate control" as it's called 
everywhere. Different approaches exist (e.g. the minstrel ratectl module in 
ath5k/madwifi). The Freifunk Firmware relies on / uses the broadcom driver 
which is closed source (or in other words: a pile of binary bullsh**). Yes 
there is some rate ctl in there - but no functioning API to query or control 
that. It works just fine (provided, that the neighbour count does not exceed 
an arbitrary limit).

P.S.: I'm personally allergic against the "NS2" keyword. May only be used 
for quality control for the ubiquitous paper (writing) tigers...
