I think they simply added different modulation for the 72 MBit/s rate. Keeping this rate doesn't even make sense for mwl8k<->mwl8k, as it's a non-standard legacy rate, whereas the device can do much better with plain 802.11n :) - Felix -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
