The last time I saw tx.c, this should now be something like
     info->flags & IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED
But as far as I can see the usage is the same.
And, unless I'm wrong, IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED is only used
 with Monitor mode interfaces.
Does hostapd use monitor mode interfaces? Because if it doesn't,
 and if I saw things correcly, info->flags won't be set to
 IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED, right?

Any comments on this?
