I checked the code, and the only effect of "pureg" is rejection of the
stations with the best rate less than 24 Mbps, if the comment in
ieee80211_input.c is to be believed.  Only the master mode is affected
by the setting.

There is nothing pure in pureg, it's a hack that would not pass any
reasonable review.  The setting was introduced in
https://madwifi-project.org/changeset/1142

The "pureg" feature has never been documented anywhere.
