Since I can't make this happen someone else needs to dig. As to better performance, onoe is not especially good and I do not recommend it. However sample is too aggressive on up-shifting the tx rate and tends to vary the rate too quickly so can degrade performance when signal deteriorates. I have done extensive testing of all the rate control algorithms as well as a proprietary one and chose sample as the default. However none are anywhere near as effective as the proprietary one.
