[PATCH] nl80211: Add support to disable CCK rate for p2p probe and frames

[Guy Eilam]

Rajkumar hello,

Isn't this patch should be an addition to your older patch that moves
the disable_11b_rates from the wpas_p2p_init() function to the
creation of a p2p interface?

This attribute isn't enough if the CCK rates are blindly disabled at
the initialization of the supplicant.

Guy.
