Hi!

Uhm, we could totally break out more bits into separate header files
if including ieee80211_var.h doesn't work for you.

However, the capabilities macro, which is IEEE80211_C_BITS, is defined in sys/net80211/ieee80211_var.h and I am not sure whether #include'ing ieee80211_var.h just for this macro is a good idea or not.
