wireless: report reasonable bitrate for MCS rates through wext
(in v2.6.34 [rc1])
the same is true for iwconfig:
$ iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"..."
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point:...
Bit Rate=270 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-35 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:9 Invalid misc:47 Missed beacon:0
