According to IEEE Std 802.11-2016 (16.2.3.4 Long PHY SIGNAL field)
all of

5.5 Mb/s and 11 Mb/s. Set IEEE80211_RATE_MANDATORY_B flag for all of
these instead of just 1 Mb/s to correctly reflect this.

Hmm, I guess technically you're correct, since 11b added what's now
Clause 16 (was Clause 18 at the time), and that has all of them
mandatory? But perhaps this was actually intended for Clause 15
compatibility?

Compatibility in what way?
