Using a 4318, you are likely to be a lot happier with SoftMAC than with
mac80211.

AFAIK, those modes are not in SoftMAC, and never will be.
On my system, I get the following:
larrylap2:~ # iwconfig eth1 rate auto
larrylap2:~ # iwconfig eth1
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"lwfdjf" Nickname:"Broadcom 4311"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.427 GHz Access Point: 00:14:BF:85:49:FA
Bit Rate=24 Mb/s Tx-Power=18 dBm
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:xxx-xxxx-xxx-xxx Security mode:open
Link Quality=71/100 Signal level=-52 dBm Noise level=-70 dBm

Check the setting for txrates->user_rate near line 270 in
net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_module.c. If you have the latest
patches, it should be set to
24M.
