Hello Gioacchino But it's written at http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/wireless: mcast_rate: Sets the fixed multicast rate, measured in kb/s. Only supported by madwifi, and mac80211 (for type adhoc in trunk)
madwifi does not support 802.11n so it's not an option. How can I configure mcast_rate using iw tool for mac80211 driver in AP mode?
