From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This allows a user to configure a wifi station interface
to disable 802.11n, even if the AP and NIC supports it.
Other interface types may be supported in the future.

* Renamed NL80211_ATTR_DISABLE_11N to NL80211_ATTR_DISABLE_HT
* Fix patched description w/regard to 'netlink bits'.
* Didn't add checks for capability bits or nor moved the disable_11n
flag to u.mgd, pending answers to earlier questions.
