I seem to vaguely remember discussing using mandatory rates, did we?

Also this seems like a last resort fallback, I'd really also try using 
the probe response information -- we should have that information still 
at this point. But maybe that doesn't make sense -- fix the APs instead!

I'd really like a (debug?) message here though. This is a stupid AP, and 
I will need to know if I'm debugging some throughput issues etc.
