For an update, I believe I was able to get HT modes working in IBSS
(aka adhoc) on two Nanostation M5s.  The Links reported 150Mbit/s
connection on both ends after settling, and throughput measured at
45Mbit/s.
This required patches to iw and compat-wireless on OpenWRT r25206.
More info here:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=131299#p131299
I would be interested to hear if anyone has been able to specify HT
modes in /etc/config/wireless on OpenWRT, since I was unable.
Note that the link speeds did suggest I was getting multiple chains
(i.e. MIMO) very briefly.  My test environment (indoor room, 20feet
separation) could have been non-ideal.
