Subject: Incoerency in iw (or mac80211 or drivers) behavior

Hello,
I figured out that the command: 

iw dev wlan0 set bitrates legacy-5 24

has different behaviors in different devices.

With iwl3945 wireless cards, it fixes the rate at 24Mbps ALSO for multicast 
frames while in iwl4965 cards, it doesn't.


In both cases I tried with ubuntu linux 12.04 and kernel-3.2.0-32-generic using  
iwl4965/iwl_legacy driver for 4965 and iwl3945/iwl_legacy driver for 3945.


I've also tried with compat-wireless-3.6, same result.

What's the expected behavior? 

Thanks in advance,
 D. Tardioli
