I had a user request that we support always sending management frames

where as normal-ish supplicant/linux tends to send them at much higher
rates.
Any suggestions on how to go about doing this properly?
Any opinions on whether it's a good idea or not?
EAPOL frames are data frams from WLAN perspective
and are unicast, thats why we send at highest possible
MCS supported. There is no advantage in forcing them to
go at lower rates.
Would forcing them to a lower rate at least theoretically improve
the chance that the packets are properly delivered?
Thanks,
