I did a quick Google search and a little known fact is that the 802.11 spec requires only an 11Mbps max rate for both B-mode and G-mode. Products can exceed this of course, but many don't. This is, AFAIK, purely a driver issue for modern wireless hardware. I had an old Belkin wireless-G CardBus card laying around, and it uses the rt2500 driver, which appears to allow this behavior via a special setting (they call it "violating" the spec which doesn't seem right given what I've read). So is there any way I can go 54Mbps with the cx3110x driver on the 770 in ad-hoc mode? Is this possible with the islsm driver?
