'iwconfig wlan0 rate 2M' works for limiting the wireless bitrate, but
I'd like to have this limit applied whenever wlan0 is started.
'rate_wlan0=( "2M" )' in '/etc/conf.d/net' doesn't work on either the
client or router. That syntax isn't documented in net.wireless, but I
did find it with Google. I've also tried it without the parenthesis.
Should I file a bug?
