The code here (more or less accidentally) tracks the HT capability of the AP when connected, and we found at least one AP that erroneously toggles its 20/40 capability bit when changing between 20/40 MHz. The connection to the AP is then broken because we set the 40 MHz disable flag based on this, as soon as it switches to 20 MHz, but because the flag then changed, we disconnect. I'd be inclined to just ignore this issue, since we then reconnect while the AP is in 20 MHz mode and never use 40 MHz with it again, but this code is a bit strange anyway - we don't use the capabilities for anything else. Change the code to simply not track the HT capabilities at all, which assumes that the AP at least sets 20/40 capability when operating in 40 MHz (or higher). If not, rate scaling might end up using only the narrower bandwidth. The new behaviour also mirrors what VHT does, where we only check the VHT operation.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
