Ok give me some time and I'll have a look at util.c.

Actually I don't like git, but when this is getting something bigger,I'll agree
to use it :)

What i mean is, right now there's just one option - setting the HT channel.
There could be less (the card automatically enables HT and uses it for a station
that advertises HT), or even more (as in hostapd.confs HT section). Or there
could be a module option to switch ht for ibss on or off. So, i'm asking about
the "ideal" interface...
