[Bug 134660] Transmission rates

[André Pirard]

Update to my message.

RT2500:
With 7.10 and serialmonkey, Rate=54 Mb/s and download reaches 350 KiB/sec.
With 8.04CR, Rate=1 Mb/s and download reaches 20 KiB/sec.
after setting sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M
Rate=54 Mb/s and download reaches 150 KiB/sec.

RT73:
With 8.04CR, Rate=1 Mb/s and download exceeds 350 KiB/sec (up to 450)
Changing the rate produces no download throughput change.

Is it possible to set the rate automatically when the interface starts?

Hoping this will help,

André.
