What I intend to do next is this have a patch to parse the VHT
operation IE in mac80211 (or have a helper in cfg80211?) to
select the VHT channel configuration in MLME code.

I'm kinda hoping the posedge folks will come back with the
regulatory code so I don't have to worry about that ...
*hint hint* :-)

vht regulatory code already posted long back. After went through several back n forth emails from Luis Rodriguez, accepted the patch.
But not commited anywhere.
Now I have to change that to match to new structs like chan_def etc from the vht channel work patches you posted 5 days back.

Also helper funcs to replace chan->flags bit checking to dynamically check channel through regulatory


After that, I'll need to work on the remaining hostapd code,
that should just need channel configuration etc. now. Then I
think it just needs a good test run.

I'm not interested in VHT IBSS, so I'm not going to do anything
there, nor VHT mesh.

The other thing would be rate control, e.g. minstrel_vht, but
I'm not sure we can use minstrel at all, so I'll probalby not
work on minstrel myself.

Oh and then of course there's also a whole bunch of action frame
handling that will be needed in mac80211, but I'm not really sure yet
what that actually is.
