I've always thought It would be much simpler if these fields could convey the whole SIGNAL bits from the PLCP header, along with a mask in case it's not all available. The drivers I've seen have the whole PLCP SIGNAL field available.

So that's the L-SIG bits from 20.3.9.3.5 "L-SIG definition", and either the HT-SIG bits from 20.3.9.4.3 "HT-SIG definition" or the VHT-SIG-A bits from 11ac's 22.3.8.3.3 "VHT-SIG-A definition" and the VHT-SIG-B bits from 11ac's 22.3.8.3.6 "VHT-SIG-B definition"?

And for 11ad, would it be the bits from 21.5.3.1.1 "General"?
