Well shouldn't you only advertise HT if the user or somebody actually
asked to join an HT IBSS and you configured the right channel type?

Johannes,

What do you mean by saying "on its own the patch is wrong".

Thanks,

The code is probably fine, but on its own the patch is wrong, so we
shouldn't merge it.

There are things :
- HT Capabilities IE : this should be the hardware capabilities of the
sender, be it a member of a HT IBSS or not.
- HT Information IE : this should be the BSS information, shared by all
members of the HT IBSS I think.

BTW, currently, there is no way with iw for the user to tell mac82011 to
join/create a non-HT, HT20, HT40+ or HT40- IBSS. Maybe we should update
iw first as a requirement for HT IBSS?

Benoit

I wouldn't advertise that though when the IBSS we want is not HT. Less
confusion that way.

So we even need to adopt it, maybe?

Indeed, we need nl80211/cfg80211 changes.

Humm... same question for me. What's wrong in the patch? form? content?
frame format? commit message?
