There's much more to it than adapting the rate control algorithm. Please stay tuned. Are you aware if similar work ongoing for the mwl(4) based 802.11n cards? I picked up a couple cheap this past week and have them working with hostapd but, as with the OP in the thread, only with G rates. The ifconfig[1] output suggests that it is using 40MHz wide ht channels but devices only associate at 54Mbps[2].
