It seems like it's working anyway. Of course, at most 54Mbps. But, isn't it a good way to configure something like mode and rate via "iwconfig" command instead of "iw"? I want to make this clear. Thanks. -- Regards, Jinsung Lee -- -----Original Message----- From: Luis R.

Patches for this would be greatly welcomed though. However keep in mind this is quite a bit of work through a generic interface as no mac80211 generic rate control algorithm currently supports MCS rates. A simpler and quicker solution for now, if can't invest much time into this, is to add a debugfs file entry for statically setting the bitrate to an MCS rate only for ath9k on ath9k/debugfs.c > Is it possible to set the rate using "iw" command? Not yet, cfg80211/nl80211 need a bit of work for this to be done. Luis
