becouse firmware checks for two bits (and then use it as bool ;)), so i 
pass what firmware can handle.

Did you got my email with lots of assumptions and questions?
What do you mean by 1-stream STBC RX? After i did some home work on STBC 
i see that it encoded from at least two spatial streams.
Is
1-stream STBC RX = 2 spatial streams with mirrored data?
and
2-stream STBC RX = 4 spatial streams with mirrored data?

or

1-stream STBC RX = compatibility mode for one stream hardware(so only of 
two streams received)?
That would make sense for 1x1:1 hardware, but if you say all atheros N 
hardware support only 1-stream STBC RX, will mean that STBC is useless 
on this hardware.

Yes, i wrote this too :) I verified it, we negotiate only 1-stream STBC RX.
