From what I can tell, the 10.4 firmware will not even enable txbf unless the

But, maybe I am missing something?
so the firmware does not take care about the vht flags?
There is a flag to enable implicit beamforming, but it is mis-defined
in the driver as far as I can tell:

Possibly that bit is somehow set anyway, dunno.
And the other explicit-beamforming appears to need a special hack to enable
the feature in the firmware.
But, someone using my firmware gets txbf to work, so I must be missing
something.
I will dig into it more tomorrow.
Thanks,
Ben
