Summary

This sends a probe request after IBSS node discovery through
beacon frames. This allows things like HT and VHT capabilities
to be "negotiated" in adhoc mode.

It is .. kinda fire and pray - this isn't retried after discovery
so it's quite possible that nodes occasionally don't come up with
HT/VHT rate upgrades. At some point it may be a fun side project
to add support for retrying these probe requests/negotiations
after IBSS node discovery.

Test Plan
  • tested with multiple ath(4) NICs in 11n mode.
