The rate control algorithm is selected when the module is loaded.  Run
"modinfo ath_pci" to see the available algorithms.  For instance, to use
the minstrel algorithm run

modprobe ath_pci ratectl=minstrel

Of course, that would work only if ath_pci is not already loaded.  It's
also possible to specify module options in one of the files
in /etc/modprobe.d/ by adding this line:

options ath_pci ratectl=minstrel

If you are using an embedded system with the AHB interface, replace
ath_pci with ath_ahb.
