Can you please clarify how this proposed new parameter differs from the
existing ht_capab=[HT40+], ht_capab=[HT40-], and ht_capab=[HT40+][HT40-]
options?
Please also note that the IEEE 802.11 standard has mandatory
requirements for 40 MHz co-existence on when the primary and secondary
channels have to be switched and I'm unlikely to accept changes
that would allow the user to bypass those requirements.
