Cover letter [PATCH 0/4] multi-rate retry and the 'minstrel' rate control for mac80211

Hi,

Here are the new patches for multi-rate retry and the minstrel rate control algorithm (ported from madwifi, mostly rewritten). I've successfully tested minstrel on ath5k with and without MRR, but it should be suitable for other drivers as well, as long as they can set and report the number of tx retries properly.

This series replaces my previous MRR patches.
