I originally chose the max-rate test because some day there might be a NIC that does 4x4 at 80 and also 4x4 at 160, it would have same nss, but it's max rate would be higher. > since peer_num_spatial_streams must be set before with min(sta->rx_nss, max_nss) > maybe the solution could be to combine both methods. so if rx_max_rate is set, we use your way and if not we > try to use nss_max. or we calculate nssvht160_max based on the mcs rateset, which is also a solution since the rateset should not contain any 3x3 or 4x4 values > for vht160 rates Using the rateset like that might work. My FW logging does show that at least my FW properly calculates the rateset to disable the 4x4 and 3x3 at 160. I am not certain that part is done in the driver though.
