Yes you are right, that is abbreviated for Block ACK Request

>> +struct ieee80211_ht_addt_info {

That's shortening for "HT additional info" which refers to 802.11n draft
section 7.3.2.53 "HT Information element".

The problem with this name results from terms confusion (IMHO) in the
draft.
Section 7.3.2.52 defines both "HT capabilities element" and "HT
Information element", but both are sent during association/beaconing, so
one may regard both as "information elements" (in classic IE way of
looking at them).

So currently ieee80211_ht_cap relates to "HT capabilities element" and
ieee80211_ht_addt_info relates to "HT Information element"
If anyone can think of a better naming convention to avoid confusion -
will be most appreciated.
