In general, it should be fine to enable HT/HT40 configuration for receive and just make sure we never transmit using parameters not allowed by regulatory or something like HT+TKIP rules. However, there could be some hardware/firmware designs that would refuse HT+TKIP at lower layer, so skipping the channel (re-)configuration could potentially cause some problems. I'm not aware of any specific example of this, though, so I can only speculate that such a thing could exist. > More importantly though, I think having to worry about reconfiguring the > channel will also be a big hassle in upcoming multi-channel code.
