Supported rates allow an 802.11 network to specify the data rate it supports. When a MU attempts
to join the network, it checks the data rate used on the network. If a rate is selected as a basic rate,
it is automatically selected as a supported rate. The basic default rates for an 802.11a radio differ
from those 802.11b default rates, as an 802.11a radio can support a maximum data rate of 54Mbps,
while an 802.11b radio can support a maximum data rate of 11Mbps.
