Hello all,
if I set a fixed data rate with iwconfig I can't get out anymore.
Trying to switch back to automatic rate control gives an error message:

Funny thing is, not even "rmmodath9k mac80211" is enough to get out of
the fixed data rate.
Any ideas? And, BTW. will there be a way to set the data rate with iw?
