[otus] enable 802.11n for 2GHz and 5GHz.

Description

[otus] enable 802.11n for 2GHz and 5GHz.

This flips on basic 11n for 2GHz/5GHz station operation.

  • It flips on HT20 and MCS rates;
  • It enables A-MPDU decap - the payload format is a bit different;
  • It does do some basic checks for HT40 but I haven't yet flipped on HT40 support;
  • It enables software A-MSDU transmit; I honestly don't want to make A-MPDU TX work and there are apparently issues with QoS and A-MPDU TX. So I totally am ignoring A-MPDU TX;
  • MCS rate transmit is fine.

I haven't:

  • A-MPDU TX, as I said above;
  • made radiotap work fully;
  • HT40;
  • short-GI support;
  • lots of other stuff that honestly no-one is likely to use.

But! Hey, this is another ye olde 11n USB NIC that now works pretty OK
in 11n rates. A-MPDU receive seems fine enough given it's a draft-n
device from before 2010.

Tested:

  • Ye olde UB82 Test NIC (AR9170 + AR9104) - 2GHz/5GHz
