From: Ulrich Kunitz <kune@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This patch implements the maximum length ZD_MAC_MAX_ACK_WAITERS
for the ack_wait_queue simply by removing waiting packets in the
same way as an error had reported for them.
The ZD1211 chips don't inform the host, whether a packet has been
successfully transmitted. Sometimes transmission errors are
reported, but it is very difficult to link them back to the
original transmitted packet. We try to emulate the behaviour by
keeping the packets waiting for ACKs in a specific queue and
report success or failure if ACKs or error messages are received.
