That's what i thought, but:
pebble:~# iwconfig eth2 rate 11M
Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) :
SET failed on device eth2 ; Input/output error.

my iwconfig version:
pebble:~# iwconfig -v
iwconfig  Wireless-Tools version 27
          Compatible with Wireless Extension v11 to v17.

Kernel    Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v17.

ath0      Recommend Wireless Extension v13 or later,
          Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v17.

eth2      Recommend Wireless Extension v16 or later,
          Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v17.

eth3      Recommend Wireless Extension v16 or later,
          Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v17.
