Ok. I was asking because some routers allow changing basicrate speed
but only on 802.11a/b/g, in AP mode, not on mesh/Ad-Hoc modes.
Some non-mandatory feactures can be on code of one module but not
implemented in the whole process.
Thanks.

On which 802.11 amendment (a/b/g/n/ac) and driver allows you
setting mcast rate for mesh and IBSS interfaces?
Far as I know, some vendors send multicast traffic as unicast in
order to reduce airtime.
I was just looking at the kernel code, I think it was
linux/net/wireless/* where
the device type is made. I didn't look farther to figure out what
it would take
to make this work with stations or APs.
Thanks,

From looking at 3.17 code, it appears we are only supposed to set the
mcast rate for mesh and IBSS interfaces?
What if I want to tell an AP or station to send broadcast/multicast
at a higher than default rate?
Should this just be controlled by the normal 'iw setbitrates' logic?
Thanks,
Ben
