Hello

I'm trying to set up IPTV over wifi (ath9k driver in AP mode + OpenWrt).
I'm using UDP multicast stream to deliver video.
By default multicast packets are transmitted at 1 Mbps (802.11g) which
is insufficient for SD video stream.
Unfortunately mac80211 driver in AP mode does not support mcast_rate option.
If i'm correct basic_rates are 802.11 rates to be used for multicast packets.
So i'm setting basic_rate to '11000 6000 9000' in /etc/config/wireless
but this does not affect multicast transmission rate.
Only after I set 'iw wlan0 set bitrate legacy-2.4 11 6 9' I get
acceptable mcast tx rate.

Is it possible to use basic_rate in /etc/config/wireless for my
purpose or it was designed for something else?
