While the driver reports

                 TX STBC
                 RX STBC 1-streams
[...]

The driver seems to set the value as flag while the iw tool interprets
it as number. This patch fixes that.

Are you sure the card can actually receive multiple streams via STBC? As far as I know, only one stream can be received properly via STBC, more streams have to be sent without it.
