No. It's the other way around, when they're reported immediately, they will be out of order. ieee80211_tx_status is called from the interrupt handler as the result of the frame being actually sent. Before that, a frame can sit for an arbitrary long time in the hw queue or not sent at all. Reporting only frames confirmed by ieee80211_tx_status as successfully sent at the time the function is called reflects better what is on the air (it's still not perfect as things like retransmissions are not caught). > Well, I guess I'm saying that wpa_supplicant shouldn't need the monitor > iface at all since it wants just management frames and we should give > those to it via netlink to avoid having to add more radiotap foo.
