I'm only responding to this because this email is doing a very good job
of avoiding my filters somehow :) I think what Greg means is:

Change this:

 /*
-op_mode
-Set to 0 (HT pure) under the following conditions
-       - all STAs in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT in 20/40 MHz BSS or
-       - all STAs in the BSS are 20 MHz HT in 20 MHz BSS
-Set to 1 (HT non-member protection) if there may be non-HT STAs
-       in both the primary and the secondary channel
-Set to 2 if only HT STAs are associated in BSS,
-       however and at least one 20 MHz HT STA is associated
-Set to 3 (HT mixed mode) when one or more non-HT STAs are associated
-       (currently non-GF HT station is considered as non-HT STA also)
-*/

+ */

to this:

 /*

Like Dan said, you need a space after the '*'/

Is mise le meas/Regards,
