Ok, that means that the driver doesn't support the bitrate setting
operation.  I lied actually, I set the bitrate to "auto" before setting
up the card, but I only set the bitrate to 11M when we're in Ad-Hoc mode
and the card is already at 0.

What does an 'iwconfig eth1 rate auto' return?  -ENOTSUP?
