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
