Things to fix up in net80211 for 802.11 standards stuff

This is a somewhat random list of stuff that adrian has noticed whilst working on things.

TBD: get 802.11-2012 and 802.11ac-2013 references

  • The HT stuff should be before the vendor IEs. The HTCOMPAT is a broadcom IE and should be in the vendor area
  • The mesh IEs are in the wrong spot
  • 802.11-2012 8.4.2.3 Supported Rates
  • ieee80211_add_rates() just adds rs_rates, but I don't think that includes the HT/VHT BSS membership selector (if required)
  • 11ac VHT IE handling for 80, 80+80 and 160MHz changed from the draft! Apparently too many vendors got 80+80/160 wrong, so they changed how it worked so everyone existing will just fall back to 80MHz
