Hm.. is this an autoselected rate?

I know I had terrible performance on Linux using madwifi when I told it
to run at 54Mbit/s. Once I'd changed it back to automatic rate
determination, it worked a treat.

Don't know about OpenBSD, but with madwifi on linux, a link quality of
50 is stupendous.

20 is good, 30 excellent and 40 damn near perfect, according to a source
I can no longer locate.
