[PATCH] zd1211rw: consistent handling of ZD1211 specific rates
As pointed out by Daniel Drake, the zd1211rw driver used several different rate values and names throughout the driver. He has written a patch to change it and tweaked it after some pretty wild ideas from my side. But the discussion helped me to understand the problem better and I think I have nailed it down with this patch. A zd-rate will consist from now on of a four-bit "pure" rate value and a modulation type flag as used in the ZD1211 control set used for packet transmission. This is consistent with the usage in the zd_rates table. If possible these zd-rates should be used in the code.
