I have not tried that out yet, but one important side effect we are using here is to force HT mode, also for No Ack packets which are usually sent with the lowest (legacy) rate. We are building fixed links and want to set a fixed HT rate there, and only this rate should be used whenever possible (and no legacy rates). As far as I understand, the ht caps overrides will only override HT configurations, but what I want is to also let the rate matcher consider HT rates too and to disable legacy rates completely. As the mcs masks support has been prepared a long time ago in iw and mac80211, it did not seem to be the worst idea to finally fill this gap and implement it. :) Cheers, Simon
