Currently there is no possibility to set some HT capabilities in e.g. an association request frame. The function ieee80211_add_htcap_body in ieee80211_ht.c simply sets some HT capabilities to zero. For example, there is no way to set HT extended capabilities which i need for my 802.11n device driver. I could of course patch the function on my system and recompile the kernel but it would be really nice to have official support of extended HT capabilities (and all other HT caps) in net80211. The header file ieee80211.h defines the necessary HT capability constants but they are not used in net80211 to set extended HT capabilities in association request frames.
