 From cvs log ath_rate/sample/sample.c:

revision 1.19
date: 2007/10/13 22:30:41;  author: sam;  state: Exp;  lines: +34 -18
revert 1.18: the negotiated rate set may not match the hal
rate tables, so using the hal's rateCodeToIndex array
will produce wrong indices for the negotiated rate set

MFC after:      3 days

And ignore my blathering about pureg/pureb/whatever.  Just update.
