I could kind of understand this for short frames like Data nullfunc and
PS-Poll, but why would we like to hard code Probe Response frames to be
sent at the lowest rate? Shouldn't the frames be sent at a rate that is
most likely to get them through and do so in a manner that does not use
excessive amount of air time?
