the proprietary one? You mean not compiling or loading any rate and let the 
card do the work by itself?

anyway, I would say if onoe is "good" or not depends on what this decision is 
based on

if onoe is lazier in up/down shifting the connextion speed it is probably a 
better choice in real life because in outdoor environments there we find 
conditions which may  continuously change the SNR and noise level and so it 
may cause troubles on a nervous rate shifter

Depends on what we want from this card this rate issue probably needs a 
general revision (this is not anything against you or your work) because it 
is certainly a difference if I run client mode, adhoc or hostap and so the 
rate decision must be different.

so probably a rate_sample as fast shifter is veru good and desireable when 
running in client mode but I am not so sure if this should be so in hostap 
and adhoc.

I believe that rate_sample shifts down and the rate is going to serve all 100 
conected clients in 1MB? Or how work this?

This new sysctl has to do with rate decision?
