no, they are all orthogonal to each other. the example you gave will
give us 108MBit. all flags can be used, as long they match the spec,
and that's the algorithm responsibility to check and determine.
I guess that the flag that is more confusing is OFDM_HT. since 11n
supports (theoretically...) n streams of data, using flags like SISO /
MIMO / MIMO_3_ANT / MIMO_... seemed the wrong way. in stead, once you
know OFDM_HT is up, a check to antenna_sel_tx will determine the Tx
expected method.
It may be good to add this to the file's documentation.
