I cannot answer any other of your questions, but rc80211_simple starting at 1 Mbs is not a bug, it
is a feature. The reason is that particular speed offers the greatest chance of authenticating and
associating. It used to start at the highest rate and many systems would give up trying to connect
before the rate was dropped to a point at which they could communicate. If the connection is really
capable of higher speeds, it gets there very quickly.
