To follow up, here it seems that setting the basic_rate option in
/etc/config/wireless under AA r39154 has no effect on the rate mask, at
least when queried via
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/netdev:wlan0/rc_rateidx_mask_2ghz
As a work-around, I'm using this hotplug script in /etc/hotplug.d/iface to
disable the slower legacy 2.4GHz rates:
#!/bin/sh
. /lib/functions.sh
. /lib/functions/network.sh
# Disable legacy 2.4GHz low bitrates
if [ ifup = "$ACTION" ]; then
case "$DEVICE" in
wlan*)
logger setting bitrate for device "$DEVICE" on interface
"$INTERFACE"
iw "$DEVICE" set bitrates legacy-2.4 6 9 11 12 18 24 36 48 54
;;
br-*)
#Bridged interfage, check if any wifi interface is member
for i in $(ls /sys/class/net/$DEVICE/brif); do
case "$i" in
wlan*)
logger setting bitrate for device "$i" on interface
"$INTERFACE"
iw "$i" set bitrates legacy-2.4 6 9 11 12 18 24 36
48 54
;;
esac
done
;;
esac
fi
Should values specified as basic_rate appear in the wifi interface's rate
mask?
