I was wondering if there was ever a reason that, say 450Mbps HT
would work better than MCS-1 for VHT. Or, maybe a mid-rate HT MCS would
have more range than VHT, or something like that.
After fighting with the firmware's rate-ctrl all day, I am even more interested
in trying to make it use mistrel_ht.
Thanks,
Ben
