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.

Can you be more specific? The current code dynamically sets those capabilities that can be changed and the others are fixed according to the capabilities of the hw/driver. Of course patches are always welcome; what's there reflects what was needed for the projects I worked on.
