Ok, so my problem is that I was trying to set legacy-2.4 rates with one call to iw, and legacy-5 rates with another. Any non-specified rates get set to full bit-rate, so that is why it wasn't working. You have to do something like: iw dev sta1 set bitrates legacy-2.4 24 legacy-5 24 Probably any time supplicant sets the rates, even if not specifying legacy, it is going to over-write your previously set legacy rates. I think the kernel should just not make any changes if the user does not specify that entry in the netlink message, but that is a problem for another day.
