No, I don't think I want to do that.
But if you're not too worried about space consumption, you could pick a
higher number:
/* add attributes here, update the policy in nl80211.c */
NL80211_ATTR_TX_ADVERT_RATEMASK = 300,
__NL80211_ATTR_AFTER_LAST,
We currently use about 230 attributes, so that'll give you lots of
breathing room.
