  * These attribute types are used with %NL80211_STA_INFO_TXRATE
  * when getting information about the bitrate of a station.
+ * There are 2 attributes for bitrate, a legacy one that represents
+ * a 16-bit value, and new one that represents a 32-bit value.
+ * If the rate value fits into 16 bit, both attributes are reported
+ * with the same value. If the rate is too high to fit into 16 bits
+ * (>6.5535Gbps) only 32-bit attribute is included.
+ * User space tools encouraged to use the 32-bit attribute and fall
