Why would you want to do that? I did not check the mesh use case but
neither Probe Request nor (Re)Association Request frames use the 0x80
flag in the rates - the basic rate set comes from the AP, not the non-AP
STA.. For mesh, I think that only Mesh Peering Open and Mesh Peering
Confirm frames indicate basic rate set, so the first patch of the patch
may or may not be correct depending on whether it applies only to those
frames.
