Tx Rate Chosing

Thanks a LOT LOT for the reply.

Suppose the STA is far away from the client such that it can only support
2Mbps, so it sends the Asso Req with supported rates as {1,2}.
Then does the AP set the initial rate (tx_rate) to 2Mbps:
	a) just by seeing the supported_rates of the Asso.Req alone ?
	b) or it also sees the SIR of the received Asso.Req signal ?

>Yes, the maximum rate supported by both ends is tried first.
Its too much to ask, but still could you please point me to the
Line No. of the Source file where this decesion is made ?

Thanks Again,
Anand
