I agree that the original code is wrong; however, I prefer that changes that
alter the execution should be tested. I see no evidence that such testing has
been done. It probably does not matter because a highest rate between 3 and 0xb
means 802.11g is in use, and that may no longer be a real-world situation.

With any future patches, you need to indicate if testing has been done.
