Ok, thanks for the hints.  I'll re-work how I generate the config files to
take this into account.

With regard to the auto-created network block...how should I configure things like
     disable_ht=0
     disable_ht40=0
     disable_sgi=0
     ht_mcs=""
     disable_max_amsdu=-1
     ampdu_factor=-1
     ampdu_density=-1

Can I just put them outside of the network block and have them take affect for the
auto-created one?

I honestly have no idea if/when/how they are to be used.  I'll try to learn
more about these options...but it will be easy enough to skip them when
generating the config files.

Thanks,
Ben
