I'm not sure, but I've read somewhere that by default the two antennas are
used.
It is true that I'm not interested in selecting the number of antennas, what
I really want is that the MIMO capability is exploited if I'm using 802.11n
HT IBSS operation mode.
Can someone confirm that by default the two antennas (spatial diversity) are
being used when we create the HT IBSS network?
