Yeah, but the patch you had sent me was removing the "driver generated"
flag, and I kept that around now for this purpose.

I have thought about this a bit, you may want to wait wrt. fragments
because I'm going to rewrite fragmentation, and then we could change the
mac80211/driver API to hand the driver an skb with all the fragments at
once instead of handing it each fragment one by one, thoughts?
