I think he is referring to the 802.11 basic rate set, which is the set of
rates that all stations in a BSS must support if they wish to join.  The
basic rates are used for control packets (e.g. RTS/CTS/ACK).  Data and
management packets, however, may be sent at any rate that the endpoints
support.  However, I'm not sure Aironet actually uses this bit, since it
is not set for any of the rates in their default set (easy enough to test,
though, just haven't done it myself).

Regarding your ping problem, did you verify that ARP was resolving correctly?
You might try a static entry to verify.

BTW:  Anyone having problems with the new firmware? (V3.10)
