Currently, it seems the sta sends back ht params the ap included in a
PROBE_RESP packet. So, the ap could send ampdu packets bigger (in
byte) than the sta can handle or packet gaps are different from the
sta wants after ba session is created. (During ba session negotiation,
these params are not exchanged, only window sizes (frame count), seq
#, and token.)
