Can we really trust this? I'd rather make sure we don't do anything
wrong in the driver itself.

Or is all this actually handled in userspace? I'm not very familiar with
how AP works, but is there any risk that someone tells us not to use 11n
but still don't change the STAs so that they appear as non-HT?
