Hi, The output is in line with the 802.11n specification, which calls all of this stuff "HT". I'll work with Eadler and others to improve the wireless documentation and FAQ and I'll make sure there's a chapter on "802.11n", which explains what HT (high throughput) is. 802.11ac is adding "VHT" (very high throughput) rates, so expect ifconfig to grow vht information shortly.
