force_unicast_rateidx is exactly as it sounds - it forces the rate of unicast
frames to a particular rate. max_ratectrl_rateidx also does as you'd expect -
it sets an upper bound for the rates that are used. These two are exactly
what you need to implement siwrate as specified in the iwconfig man page and
it works for client, adhoc, and master mode. Just grep for these two fields
and you'll see how the code sets and uses it.
