If I understand it correctly, we can probably do something like this:

1) add new variables "const u8 *ht_cap" and "size_t ht_cap_len" to struct cfg80211_ap_settings
2) parse WLAN_EID_HT_CAPABILITY in nl80211_start_ap() and update ht_cap/ht_cap_len accordingly
3) drivers (mwifiex, etc.) make use of ht_cap/ht_cap_len directly in start_ap() handler

Regardless we have to parse HT_CAP IE from beacon.tail, either in driver start_up handler, or inside of cfg80211/nl80211. Please let me know if above change is OK for you.

Thanks,
Bing
