Users may need information about the expected throughput

I think this "expected throughput" should be a bit clarified.

Are you talking about "expected PHY rate" or rather "expected (payload) throughput"?

towards a given peer computed by the RC algorithm. Export such value in Mbps/100 through the get_station() API.

"units of 10Kbps" might be a better description :-)

This unit has been chosen because it is the same of the throughput returned by MinstrelHT.

Since it's unlikely we'll ever reach the limit of a u32, maybe just multiply by 10 to get the nicer Kbps?

• • @expected_throughput: expected throughput in Mbps/100 reported by the RC
• • algorithm towards this station. The unit of this value has been chosen
• • because it is the same of the throughput returned by MinstrelHT

I think the rationale shouldn't be here now.
