After some more research I have a similar question for the RX path.
The device will strip the IV out of the ieee80211 frame but provides
the IV/EIV seperately in the descriptor.

Would it be any added value to instead of setting the RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED
flag the IV is reinserted into the frame, provide the IV/EIV seperately in
struct ieee80211_rx_status, or simply set RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED and ignore
the entire field?

Thanks.

Ivo
