HT management is done differently for AP and STA modes, unify
to just the ->config() callback since HT is fundamentally a
PHY property and cannot be per-BSS.

Rename enum nl80211_sec_chan_offset as nl80211_channel_type to denote
the channel type ( NO_HT, HT20, HT40+, HT40- ).

nl80211: Change max TX power to be in mBm instead of dBm 2008-11-26T14:47:48+00:00 Jouni Malinen j@w1.fi 2008-11-22T20:00:31+00:00 bf8c1ac6d81ba8c0e4dc2215f84f5e2a3c8227e8 In order to be consistent with NL80211_ATTR_POWER_RULE_MAX_EIRP, change NL80211_FREQUENCY_ATTR_MAX_TX_POWER to use mBm and U32 instead of dBm and U8. This is a userspace interface change, but the previous version had not yet been pushed upstream and there are no userspace programs using this yet, so there is justification to get this change in as long as it goes in before the previous version gets out.
