+    Additionally it is possible to configure the ``supported_rates`` and ``basic_rate``
+    of each radio. Booth are optional and defaults to hostapd/driver default. But
+    ``supported_rates`` implies ``basic_rate``, because ``basic_rate`` has to be a subset
+    of ``supported_rates``.
+    The example below disables 802.11b rates.

     ``ap`` requires a single parameter, a string, named ``ssid`` which sets the
     interface's ESSID.
