Well, feels like progress! If you actually want to enable/view the new features, you'll want to patch hostap and iw. You could use my trees if you want, though they have some extra stuff and the ht-caps logic needs the cpu_to_le16 changes and probably a bit of other cleanup at the moment. https://github.com/greearb/hostap-ct https://github.com/greearb/iw-ct I'll post some clean iw and hostap patches later today if all goes well.
