My wmediumd fork (https://github.com/bcopeland/wmediumd) could benefit from
this as well -- right now it assumes you use OFDM rates only.
It probably makes sense to send the driver rate array as a separate
netlink message though instead of in-band with CMD_FRAME, since it doesn't
change per frame and amount of data sent over netlink in the datapath already
imposes a performance limit.
Is your simulator available somewhere?
