Ok. And then we will need to parse that data into format suitable for
prism54 in prism54 driver, and into format suitable for acx100/acx111
in acx100 driver, etc... Most probably this code will be ugly, because
different hardware have completely different way of setting tx rate.
Even acx100 and acx111 are different, not to say acx100 and prism54.
