Is there any way to have iw configure to use *just* legacy rates, for instance:

iw dev wlan0 bitrates legacy-2.4 1 2 5.5 11 [and disable all others, including HT and VHT] ?

From what I can tell, there is not.

I need a way to disable HT and VHT rates before a peer exists so that I can cause probe requests to go out without any HT/VHT info in them, for instance.

Thanks,
Ben

Err, nevermind..I think this is the second time I thought this was broken, but I just was not using things properly.

Thanks,
