I do hate to hear that. |

I can have the iwpriv settings executed with: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
iwpriv_ath0=( "mode 3" "turbo 1" ) |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
and I was told on the madwifi IRC channel that the 108Mbps rate won't |
| 42 |
actually show up with "iwlist ath0 rate" because turbo just does |
| 43 |
rate*2 down the line. I'm still wondering if turbo mode should work |
| 44 |
with wpa_supplicant and if there is any way to determine if turbo mode |
| 45 |
is actually functional on my system though. |
