It does, in theory, but then again you don't really _have_ the choice.
iwlagn only lets you control the rate on the host to some extent,
there's not a lot we can do. IMHO using the rate control algorithms like
they are now is a kludge because we've always needed a rate control
algorithm, but it's still not really useful.
