I see your point here, although some one will file some bugs against the
driver about showing G while associating with B-mode AP. By the way how
can you figure if the AP is B/G other than the rates?

But it's not the AP connection type that determines what rates are
available - it's the available rate set - this is independent of whether
the card is B or G. A G AP may only advertise B rates, even though it's
a G AP. I still don't see any need to change the phytype.

Why is it necessary to set phymode to B? - a G client can connect

We need this information for rate scaling and we need to send the NIC
different command depends on the AP connection type.

When I connect to b-mode only AP and then run iwconf it shows it as a
G-mode AP. I guess when we set frequency it look through all the modes
and set the mode to the first channel it founds. since B and G share
the same frequencies it will set phymode to G. How can we force it to
set phymode to the AP we are associating with.
