Right, a patch series introducing mpath switching based on RSSI is in
the pipeline.

There is no "negotiated bit rate" or concept of "link rate". 'station
dump' just shows the last_tx_rate for each station. The same series
mentioned above starts tracking average tx rate for each station,
which should give you and the mpath logic a better idea of the link
quality.
