Yes, that's the kind of thing. But: 1. it ignores the warning issued by iw help: "Do NOT screenscrape this tool, we don't consider its output stable." 2. it believes the driver's advertised capabilities. I have a radio whose driver lies about its ability to support HT40-: when you actually try and use it it fails saying that this capability is not yet implemented. So what I have in mind is for some tool to tell the operator what capabilities the driver advertises, in hostapd.conf syntax, but it would still be the operator's responsibility to select the right lines (in line with the frequency band being used) and to prune the capabilities both for the use case and for the kinds of lies mentioned above.
