   * In the standard there is no text that explicitly precludes
   * production of a device that does not support some rates that are
   * mandatory (according to the standard) for PHYs that the device
   * happens to fully or partially support.
   *
   * This approach is taken by some devices which choose to only support,
   * for example, 6 and 9 Mbps ERP-OFDM rates for cost and power
   * consumption reasons (i.e., these devices don't need to be designed
   * for and waste current on the increased linearity requirement of
   * higher-order constellations when 6 and 9 Mbps more than meet their
   * data requirements). The wording of the standard allows such devices
   * to have an OperationalRateSet which includes 6 and 9 Mbps ERP-OFDM
   * rates, despite 12 and 24 Mbps being "mandatory" rates for the
   * ERP-OFDM PHY.
   *
   * Now this doesn't actually have any impact on code, yet. It is,
   * however, something that we need to keep in mind for the
   * future. Basically, the key point is that we can't be making
   * assumptions like "the Operational Rate Set will contain all the
   * mandatory rates".
