An interesting and good point. However, I'm in full control of the clients so I can actually disable PS-Mode. So, while your note of caution is appreciated, it doesn't get me off the hook. As I wrote earlier I'm evaluating a transition from Madwifi to ath5k. Madwifi with net80211 had an iwpriv call to configure the multicast data rate. I'm looking for an equivalent solution with ath5k/mac80211. >As an alternative, It's worth a try to look into multicast-to-unicast proxies >such as http://sourceforge.net/projects/udpxy/ . But then you duplicate the multicast traffic for every STA, no?
