Cool. I'll do it over the weekend. I'm currently at BSDCan 2013 fixing
and talking about wifi stuff. :-)

I haven't enabled 11n half/quarter rate channels yet. Yeah, I intend
to leave the MCS IE's alone, as the MCS rates are a bitmap. I won't
disable HT40 but it wouldn't make sense to configure it.
