Hi

I've just started playing with some D-link DWL-AG520 PCI adapters with the 
Atheros 5212 chipset.

The one adapter is configured in hostap mode, and the other one as a client. 
When I set the media option to a lower speed that the maximum, then it only 
works for the adapter in client mode, but it does not seem to work for the 
adapter that is in hostap mode. I've tried it on 11a, 11b and 11g at all the 
supported rates, but the tx speed always defaults to the maximum for the 
selected mode.

I'm using -current from September 07th.

e.g.

> ifconfig ath0 media DS/1Mbps mode 11b mediaopt hostap ssid ath101 channel 11

>wicontrol ath0

Is this correct, or should the tx rate (actual speed) be the same as the media 
setting ?
