This would perhaps be better without the ternary as
the compiler might not optimize the ternary away

#define CHHLOP_IN_PROGRESS(_pHTInfo)				\
	((_pHTInfo)->ChnOp > CHNLOP_NONE)

This would also probably be better as a static inline
not a macro, but as this is never used it's actually
better just to remove it.

This would be better with the various macro arguments
parenthesized (especially WirelessMode)

#define CURRENT_RATE(WirelessMode, LegacyRate, HTRate)		\
	(((WirelessMode) & LEGACY_WIRELESS_MODE)  ? 		\
	(LegacyRate) : PICK_RATE((LegacyRate), HTRate))

As this is used exactly once, it's probably better
expanded in that one place and the macro removed.

That's true for PICK_RATE as well.
