Re: tx_status reporting of RTS/CTS frames

Hi Ivo,

b43 definitely doesn't, it embeds the rts/cts frame in the TX descriptor
of the data packet and only gets a tx status notification for the data
packet from the hardware.

I think it'd be best since most hw is not even capable of doing it, rate
control algorithms don't care and we don't really want to have them
anyway.
