Rates

One octet per rate. Top bit set means basic; the low seven bits give the rate in units of 500 kb/s.

Reading a capture

0x82 is 1 Mb/s basic; 0x0C is 6 Mb/s supported but not required. Eight maximum — anything further goes in the Extended Supported Rates element, which exists only because this one ran out of room.
