For b43 seems to report the tx status for the rts/cts frames as well. I have found the 2 emails that introduced and later reverted the behavior from rt2x00: [PATCH 16/26] rt2x00: Correctly handle RTS frames [PATCH 7/24] RT2x00: Add RTS frame creation They are dated from July 2006, so they were quite old actually :S Anyway, I have no objects against not report those frames to mac80211, so if mac80211 doesn't want those frames reported rt2x00 can filter them out. :) Ivo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
