No, it is referring to IEEE P802.11-REVmd™/D5.0, September 2020 Table
9-81- "Setting of the Channel Width subfield and 160/80+80 BW subfield
at a VHT STA transmitting the Operating Mode field" (where it doesn't
refer to OM)
But you said above "according to the new IEEE802.11ax"? I guess that
confuses me.
Or did D5.0 incorporate 802.11ax? But that seems unlikely, 802.11ax D8.0
was still in circulation until yesterday, i.e. after you sent the patch?
"Setting of the VHT Channel Width and VHT NSS at an HE STA transmitting
the OM Control subfield" table in the 802.11ax D* files is identical to
the "Setting of the Channel Width subfield and 160/80+80 BW subfield at
a VHT STA transmitting the Operating Mode field" table in the Draft
P802.11REVmd_D* files.
This is the source of confusion, sorry :)
The nl80211.c change is also described in the first 3 rows of Table
9-274 "VHT Operation Information subfields".
OK, thanks, I'll have to check that out.
Thanks.
