Well, is it the 20mhz rate or a 40mhz turbo rate?

Again, if its a custom rate for 11a/11g 40MHz static turbo style
configurations, it should only be exposed when the AP is running in
that particular mode.

And yes, if the hardware does support it, then it should really only
not be configured for basic rates. That way mwl8k<->mwl8k hardware can
take advantage of it when those stations are talking to each other.

(Yeah, I come from a world where FreeBSD users still want to run
Turbo/Static-40MHz operation with things like fast frames and turbo
rates.. damned legacy hardware. :-)
