We used to be able to even runtime-select transmit headers in bcm43xx.

I thought that's what you do now?

I haven't looked into what the differences are.

Some things I plain don't understand, like this:
#if IWL == 4965
#ifdef CONFIG_IWLWIFI_SENSITIVITY

why not just make the latter depend on 4965 in Kconfig? Same with HT.
