Currently, we have a rate adaptation field for get_ksettings, which
indicates whether rate adaptation is occurring. To really support the
above case, we'd probably want a way for userspace to express a
preference for e.g. rate-adapted 10M over "native" 10M. I agree that we
should hold off on this until we're more confident in the
implementation.
