Hostapd and MCS rates

In the .config I can see that:
./.config:CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL=y
./.config:CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_HT=y
./.config:CONFIG_ATH9K_LEGACY_RATE_CONTROL=y

no VHT but that should not be an issue right?
I'll create the setup and try to set it to capture some packets again.
But I doubt it's the sniffer, I'm thinking more into
configuration/compilation.
