Yes, and also the NVS INI section (look at ini.h) appears to be
currently missing all the calibration/compensation etc values for the
11j channels.

So it seems even if the firmware may support 11j, the infrastructure on
the host side is still lacking. It seems to me there is some work to be
done before these can be enabled.
