For an update, I believe I was able to get HT modes working in IBSS (aka adhoc) on two Nanostation M5s. The Links reported 150Mbit/s connection on both ends after settling, and throughput measured at 45Mbit/s. This required patches to iw and compat-wireless on OpenWRT r25206. More info here: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=131299#p131299 I would be interested to hear if anyone has been able to specify HT modes in /etc/config/wireless on OpenWRT, since I was unable. Note that the link speeds did suggest I was getting multiple chains (i.e. MIMO) very briefly. My test environment (indoor room, 20feet separation) could have been non-ideal.
