True, but FWIW I think all of our rate scaling algorithms choose the
lowest rate.

And then iwlwifi and ath9k have their own rate control algo, and at
least ath9k uses the lowest valid rate IIRC.

I've found the code in ath9k and you are right, it always chooses the lowest rate. So, basically to transmit multicast frames at a better bitrate I have to hack the rate control algorithm, right?


Thanks,
