max wifi speed limited to 56Mbit? #11

Is it possible that this value is outdated?

axn commented 6 years ago

if bmx7_iwinfo.so plugin is loaded then a indeed better assumptions can be made and the configured rateMax value is ignored. But, as long a no better assumptions can be made (no mac or phy infor available), this value is still reasonable. Anyway, It can easily be overwritten with like: 'bmx7 -c dev=wlan0 /rateMax=150000000

Which value would you suggest? Consider that 11a and 11g should still be supported and reflected.

Closing issue for now

Does this output mean that even tho the estimated max rate is 130Mbit it's capped to 56Mbit due to the max rate setting of a wifi interface?
