Some wifi drivers (e.g. ath10k) provide per-station rx/tx values but no estimated throughput. Setting a better estimate than the default 1 MBit makes these devices work well with B.A.T.M.A.N. V.

I have been testing this patch for 2-3 months in production setups and while the approach isn't perfect, it produced acceptable results.
