Indeed you can.

For what it's worth, although I can't speak for wmediumd at the moment,
in the precursor to it that I wrote, I got about 25 Mbps achieved with
a phy rate of 54 Mbps when simulating the physical layer, which I think
is pretty close to real world overhead in non-agg case.  With plain old
mac80211_hwsim you can get several Gbps.
