does the rx rate really increase? |

@GrimFrost Thanks for the confirm. @zxystd The code base of iwn driver have most of the MIMO rx code ready, it is already specify the right flags in the rxon for all rxchains. However it is not advertise it in the supported MCS rates. This change is to advertise all the supported MCS. The similar code path also exists in the iwm/iwx driver. For the real-world test, I can see up to 80mbps in the speed test, which is now on-par with iwm driver I believe. I have another pull request #404 would like take a look. |

Enable MIMO on the rx path for iwn driver.
This change allow up to MCS 23 rate (216M) on rx. I tested with 2x2:2 and can see MCS 15 rate (144M) on rx.
There is still issues with MIMO on the tx path need to be figure out. Tx rate is still up to MCS 7 rate (72M) and in the real world I only see up to MCS 4 rate (43M).
