Yes it is very useful.

Any hostap-driven hardware can do this for you.
Hostap has an iwpriv which gives you complete control
over basic and operational rates.

Prism54 Fullmac hardware also can do this, but patch which added
relevant private ioctl wasn't accepted IIRC. If you want, I can
try to find the patch on my home machine.

acx111 also seems to be able to do it, although driver is
not ready yet.
