[luci] r10253: Band/HTmode

[Erich N. Pekarek]

Hi!

I recently installed:
     LuCI Trunk (svn-r10253) OpenWrt Barrier Breaker r40887

on a UBNT Nanostation Loco M5 and noticed changes as follows:



I guess that happed in reaction to my patches in 
luci.subsignal.org/trac/ticket/678.
The implementation seems wrong to me:

a) In Band the selection for "Auto" and "802.11a only" are gone.
b) The translation for "HT mode disabled" is vexing.
c) "Band" is vexing.

Explanation:
Up to my knowledge 802.11n is "set on top of 802.11a/g".
HT Mode off/ht20/ht40/... does NOT have to do with rate and band 
selection as such, it only has to do with CTS-to-self for compatibility 
issues with non-802.11n devices (i.e. Legacy a/b/g).

Therefore:
c) should be "Mode" instead of "Band" just as usual: 
802.11/802.11b/802.11g/802.11n+g/802.11n+a was correct in the first place.
b) "HT mode (802.11n)"  should only be "HT mode" or "High througput", 
since it exists only in n and ac. The value "disabled" is not 
self-explanatory. Use "Compatibility mode" oder "Legacy Mode" (the later 
is still not quite correct) instead.
a) Return to the previous values. The values represent a set of rates 
and do not have to do with Band as such.

Or did I miss a step in development?
(Ticket (see above) is still open).

regards
Erich
