    mac80211: properly track HT/VHT operation changes · 30eb1dc2
    Johannes Berg authored
    A while ago, I made the mac80211 station code never change
    the channel type after association. This solved a number of
    issues but is ultimately wrong, we should react if the AP
    changes the HT operation IE and switches bandwidth. One of
    the issues is that we associate as HT40 capable, but if the
    AP ever switches to 40 MHz we won't be able to receive such
    frames because we never set our channel to 40 MHz.
    
    This addresses this and VHT operation changes. If there's a
    change that is incompatible with our setup, e.g. if the AP
    decides to change the channel entirely (and for some reason
    we still hear the beacon) we'll just disconnect.
