In that case, I would like to see this change being included in the same
patch/patchset.. Without this, I can only NAK this kind of change since
it removes functionality needed for some designs and that is not
something I would like to see happening with net/d80211 since the goal
is to allow all reasonable hardware designs to work with it.

There are, but maybe not in wireless-dev.git.

Any card that supports different transmit rates for hw retries involving
RTS/CTS/fragmentation (e.g., Atheros).
