Hi
I am trying to configure my atheros interface to run at OFDM/6Mbps in 11a
mode, but somehow the interface automatically selects a higher rate
(according to wicontrol) Are there any thing more than ifconfig media
OFDM/6Mbps that I need so set to force the interface to use OFDM/6Mbps.
(Kernel = 5-20040625-CURRENT )
