why dont you run the loop from j=1?

because row j=0 is the new default ssid and has no types set.
We start with row j=1 and set the "diagonal" types to one.

I think aq's point was that the above loop is equivalent to:

  #include <stdlib.h> // for 'min'

  for (j = 1; j <= min(CWALL_MAX_SSIDREFS, CWALL_MAX_TYPES); j++) {
      ssidrefs[j*CWALL_MAX_TYPES + j - 1] = htons(1);
  }

which is arguably clearer.
