It appears the rate-ctrl tries to fall to CCK 2Mbps or 1Mbps and skips a/g rates.  /n
rates are a subset of VHT, so those are used as part of normal VHT rate-ctrl.

I have no explanation for why I saw the tx-hang in stock-ish firmware, which indeed
should not have tried to use any a/g rates in 5Ghz.  The high-level failure looked exactly like
what I eventually debugged as falling back to /a rates in my firmware, for what that
is worth.

Thanks,
Ben
