In the current hwsim config no rate control algorithm is enabled. This
means that, when using defconfig-hwsim, the mac80211_hwsim fails to load
with the following error:

	[  132.155183] ieee80211 phy0: Failed to select rate control algorithm
	[  132.155196] ieee80211 phy0: Failed to initialize rate control algorithm

Fix this by enabling rate control algorithms in the provided hwsim
config.

Experiments were also less reliable when WEXT was enabled. So this patch
also disables WEXT when using defconfig-hwsim to make the default more
reliable for users.

No objection. I thought we actually just disabled it completely in
backports, but perhaps that's an Intel defconfig too.

But does that even work? I thought it had to be like this:

I think you're right, specifying "=n" is the wrong way.

Somehow doing that did disable WEXT for me, but that likely was
specific to my setup.
