Allow changing of the rate control algorithm.
This has some limitations:
- The rate control algorithm can be set per-wiphy only.
- All of network interfaces of the wiphy have to be down to change the
algorithm.
- All sta entries are flushed when the algorithm is succesfully changed.
- The add_sta ioctl can be called only at a running interface from now.
Changing of the algorithm is possible by writing a new algorithm name into
/sys/class/ieee80211/phyX/rate_ctrl_alg. This will be most likely changed in
the future.
