Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't the setting we're discussing are for the 
device itself, not for its peers? I mean, disabling AMSDU, AMPDU implies 
we need to update capabilities advertised in our information elements, 
which are common for all devices, and it affects both Tx and Rx.

And per-node/per-TID aggregation settings are a separate configuration 
option related to rate adaptation on Tx path only..
