  The wifi driver can decide to not provide parts of the station info. For
example, the expected throughput of the station can be omitted when the
used rate control doesn't provide this kind of information.

The B.A.T.M.A.N. V implementation must therefore check the filled bitfield
before it tries to access the expected_throughput of the returned
station_info.

Looks like STATION_INFO_EXPECTED_THROUGHPUT was removed in 
319090bf6c75e3ad42a8c74973be5e78ae4f948f and 
BIT(NL80211_STA_INFO_EXPECTED_THROUGHPUT) must now be used. Of course, 
NL80211_STA_INFO_EXPECTED_THROUGHPUT doesn't have the value 28 :(

Kind regards,
	Sven
