I apologize for this confidential footer in my previous email. It was not
supposed to be here. The issue on our exchange server has been resolved.

So let me reiterate my question again. Do you have any comments and
concerns regarding the patch ?


Regards,
Sergey

Thanks applied. However, I noticed that this override value does not
seem to have any impact on mac80211-based drivers and in particular, not
with mac80211_hwsim (even after making it indicate STBC capability).
Would you happen to have any plans on extending mac80211 to support this
override?

Hello Jouni,

All the bits required to pass overrides for HT/VHT capabilities appear
to be in place for both cfg80211-based and mac80211-based drivers.

The reason why RX/TX STBC capabilities are not modified for mac80211_hwsim
driver is as follows. All drivers need to specify supported HT/VHT overrides
explicitly: see ht_capa_mod_mask and vht_capa_mod_mask fields of wiphy structure.
Only supported overrides will be passed to drivers by cfg80211_connect and
cfg80211_mlme_assoc operations: see bitwise 'AND' performed by
cfg80211_oper_and_ht_capa and cfg80211_oper_and_vht_capa.

Currently STBC flags are not in default mac80211_ht_capa_mod_mask structure.
IIUC, there are two options to enable STBC changes for mac80211_hwsim driver:

- add support for RX/TX STBC changes for all mac80211-based drivers
  -- update common mac80211_ht_capa_mod_mask (net/mac80211/main.c)

- add support RX/TX STBC changes for specific driver
  -- e.g., create a separate wiphy->ht_capa_mod_mask instance for mac80211_hwsim

I would suggest to chose the first approach with STBC flags disabled by default.
Experimental patch for this case is provided below. I will test it and
send as RFC.

Regards,
Sergey
