The use case of sending a DELBA to control a block ack agreement sounds
exactly like a case that I was worried about when injecting arbitrary

appropriate approach for addressing that to provide such capability in
the kernel? If this is just to have a temporary workaround for not
wanting to update a kernel for some systems, it does not really sound
like a convincing argument to complicate upstream hostapd with a feature
that would then likely need to be maintained for significant amount of
time in practice.

I didn't see it that way initially but following your explanation I agree it would make more sense to have that capability in the kernel instead.

Thanks for the feedback!
