is adm8211 capable of sending arbitrary frames?

Hi Michael,

Quick question: it appears that the adm8211 driver pulls out the 802.11
header and instead inserts a custom TX header that only contains one/two
addresses (3/4-addr header format).

This appears to mean that it can send neither QoS frames properly nor
can actually communicate with an AP other than the one it is associated
to. The latter isn't much of a problem, but it seems that the driver
will fall over with QoS AP since it doesn't strip the QoS-data bit from
the frame control. Or does the hardware do that? In any case, mac80211
shouldn't be announcing QoS support for this driver, should it?
