Subject: Configuring the multicast data rate with iw/nl80211

Hello all,
I know that it is now possible to configure the data rate bitmask that the RC
algorithm uses to select data rates for individual peer nodes. However, I could
not figure out, how to specifically assign a broadcast/multicast data rate. Is
this supported? If so, how?

The scenario I'm facing is that I'm perfectly happy to let the RC figure out the
best data rate for the peer nodes up to the supported maximum. However, I need
to multicast video streams as well. For this I have to balance the required data
rate with the distance I can achieve.

Kind regards
Joerg
