Larry, Sorry about all these extra replies. Shortly after I sent my last message my access point started recognizing the connection as 802.11ac with PHY Rate / Modulation Rate of 866.6 Mbps. What is somewhat misleading is the information reported by iwconfig (see bit rate below).My bet would be that it is nitrate at which beacon or probe response is received. Regardless I would suggest using iw in this day and age. Regards, Arendquoted

It's because the initial version does not collect tx_rate report from the firmware. So it just print out the initial value. Will be added in the next series. Thanks! Yan-Hsuan
