  Greetings,


  I cant change bit rate of wireless connection for TP-LINK TL-WN722N
  (ath9k_htc driver from compat-wireless-2010-03-28). Here is how it
  happens, it is always 1 Mb/s but real speed may be higher:

  iwconfig wlan1
  wlan1     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"TP-LINK"
             Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point:
  00:1D:0F:D6:73:98
             Bit Rate=1 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm
             Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
             Encryption key:off
             Power Management:off
             Link Quality=38/70  Signal level=-72 dBm
             Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
             Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0


  [root at Glory oleh]# iwconfig wlan1 rate 54M
  Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) :
       SET failed on device wlan1 ; Operation not supported.


  Is it possible to make some magic for this to work a little better?

  And I get error when compiling latest compat-wireless driver:
