      This message just fills up dmesg and/or kernel logs and does
      not provide any useful information.

      mac80211: mesh: drop new node with weak power · ed92a9b5
      Masashi Honma authored
      On some practical cases, it is useful to drop new node in the distance.
      Because mesh metric is calculated with hop count and without RSSI
      information, a node far from local peer and near to destination node
      could be used as best path.
      
      For example, the nodes are located in linear. Distance of 0 - 1 and
      1 - 2 and 2 - 3 is 20meters. 0 to 3 signal is very weak.
      
          0 --- 1 --- 2 --- 3
      
      Though most robust path from 0 to 3 is 0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3,
      unfortunately, node 0 could recognize node 3 as neighbor. Then node 3
      could be next of node 0. This patch aims to avoid such a case.
      
      [Johannes:]
      Dropping the node entirely isn't ideal, but at least with encryption
      there will be a limit on # of keys the hardware can deal with, and
      there might also be a limit on the number of stations it supports.

      mac80211: reject/clear user rate mask if not usable · e8e4f528
      Johannes Berg authored
      If the user rate mask results in no (basic) rates being usable,
      clear it. Also, if we're already operating when it's set, reject
      it instead.
      
      Technically, selecting basic rates as the criterion is a bit too
      restrictive, but calculating the usable rates over all stations
      (e.g. in AP mode) is harder, and all stations must support the
      basic rates. Similarly, in client mode, the basic rates will be
      used anyway for control frames.
      
      This fixes the "no supported rates (...) in rate_mask ..." warning
      that occurs on TX when you've selected a rate mask that's not
      compatible with the connection (e.g. an AP that enables only the
      rates 36, 48, 54 and you've selected only 6, 9, 12.)
