Hi Johannes,

Thanks for the quick reply!

This patch works like a charm for my current predicament. But is it
actually written somewhere that multicast packets can't be aggregated?
I can't find any place that says they can't, but I'm not authoritative
by any means.

If aggregated packets were allowed, would the more a special tid_rx
for multicast packets be the right way to go (similar to what happens
in ieee80211_parse_qos)?

In any case, this patch seems like a huge net improvement over the
current situation and is probably worth merging.

Regards,
Blaise
