This is correct.

Not yet, but please feel free to give a shot at hacking it up. It would require
a new cfg80211 command but keep in mind the way I believe we want this is to
use the 802.11 MLME SAP interface for this.
Right now ath9k also does not report the right MCS index through iw
though. It seems this is due to the way our RC works... anyway this
could use some love too. Sujith may be working on this, not sure,
sujith?
In the end it would be nice to see minstrel be used anyway so a good
milestone is to allow ath9k select minstrel or let it use its own RC.
By then things will start looking better I think.

Nice, just one tip: may want to stick to using iw from git if you are doing
development, it keeps moving on and on.
