Are you planing to add support for any of them. We have a UHF wifi pilot project and was thinking of doing a frequency down convert to UHF.

First, I've done some renaming things. IEEE80211_RATECTL_OPT_* became IEEE80211_RATECTL_CAP_* and options in ieee80211_ratectl became ir_capabilities. As for max4msframelen , I re-added this field and also ported ath_max_4ms_framelen[4][32] to ieee80211_ratectl. An error is also corrected (about initialization of ir_capabilities).

Do the ieee80211_ratectl_hascap_* functions do wrong things? And, I'm not very clear about the relation between STBC and short-GI now. It seems that I need some further reading. :) > * In ieee80211_ratectl_complete_rcflags(), enabling RTS/CTS but not > transmitting an 11n rate isn't "right."

Thanks! Chenchong
