Well in general I was talking about IEEE-802.11 section 10.3 stuff.
In cfg80211/nl80211 we don't want to allow things like "set essid"
as iwconfig has, instead we want to break things down a bit more,
which can really help debugging. The MLME SAP already has some
decent layout of commands/responses but after a quick glance
I do not see anything for setting a static rate. May want to review
that a bit before implementing set rate though. Just remember
post early and review early. If you have an idea of how you want
to do it let us know to get feedback.
