Could be rate selection.

Ben, a sanity check:  is it possible for the device to be associated
to an "HT-Only" AP and thus not be able to sent NO_HT packets?  Could
that be why there might need to be a channel change sometimes?

I don't know.  The code and comments in  ieee80211_set_channel_type
make me think that it's always possible to send NO_HT packets regardless
of hardware's channel type.

One thing I haven't figured out yet:  What actually tells the
hardware to send NO_HT v/s HT20 v/s HT40, etc.  I have previously tested
HT20 STAs concurrent with HT40 stas, and both can send/receive at once
while the hardware stays in HT40 mode.

Thanks,
Ben
