I definitely agree here. This should tested before trying to hack the TQ
calculation with some own RSSI based submetric.

The mcast_rate trick is currently only shown in an old OpenWrt wiki page [1].
Maybe it should also be mentioned in the main OpenWrt configuration page [2].
I will leave this to the interested reader... or I will change it when I
have some time to confirm it with a current OpenWrt.

Kind regards,
	Sven
