When this static description is also used by the host controller to set the device speed, then these WLAN devices are limited to 480 Mbps. If these descriptor are more a information for programmers, even if some descriptors are uses to configure the device, but the hardware supports more then 480 Mbps, as which in this case, then these devices are not limited, but provide wrong information. > > > What exactly is the hardware problem?

The used WLAN chipset should support more then 480 Mbps in hardware, but I don't known whether the host controller limits the speed based on the wrong descriptor of the device.
