>From looking at 3.17 code, it appears we are only supposed to set the

What if I want to tell an AP or station to send broadcast/multicast
at a higher than default rate?
Should this just be controlled by the normal 'iw setbitrates' logic?
Thanks,

On which 802.11 amendment (a/b/g/n/ac) and driver allows you setting
mcast rate for mesh and IBSS interfaces?
Far as I know, some vendors send multicast traffic as unicast in order
to reduce airtime.

I was just looking at the kernel code, I think it was linux/net/wireless/* where
the device type is made. I didn't look farther to figure out what it would take
to make this work with stations or APs.

Ok. I was asking because some routers allow changing basicrate speed
but only on 802.11a/b/g, in AP mode, not on mesh/Ad-Hoc modes.
Some non-mandatory feactures can be on code of one module but not
implemented in the whole process.
Thanks.
