RTL8187 rate control problems

[Claudio Matsuoka <claudio@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been reported a problem with RTL8187 working only at very close ranges 
(4-5m) in Linux while the same hardware works at much higher distances in 
Windows. Investigating the problem, I found that it's caused by the mac80211 
rate control incrementing the bit rate to 54M and never going down because 
the fail counter stays at zero. What would be a good way to check 
transmission retries or failures in the RTL8187 to prevent this problem? Is 
it possible to have a retry count sent to the tx callback so 
status->retry_count could be set accordingly?
