Description Maciej Milewski 2011-09-26 16:20:09 UTC 
Running ifconfig -v wlan1 makes:
        sturbo  ucast NONE    mgmt  6 Mb/s mcast  6 Mb/s maxretry 6
        11na    ucast NONE    mgmt 12 MCS  mcast 12 MCS  maxretry 6
        11ng    ucast NONE    mgmt  2 MCS  mcast  2 MCS  maxretry 6

I think that it's incorrect. 12MCS needs 2 spatial stream and what is with cards which support only one?

Something in this subject is mentioned in line 1608 sys/net80211/ieee80211.c
   1608 >.......>......./* NB: 12 is ambiguous, it will be treated as an MCS */

  ifconfig(8): display management / multicast wlan(4) rates properly

  For 11n / 11ac we are still using non-11n rates for management and
  multicast traffic by default; check 'MCS rate' bit to determine how
  to print them correctly.
