For instance, should this method below set the vif when it is queueing up a backlogged
frame when the queue is stopped?  Seems it only sets the vif it it is transmitting
the frame?

static bool ieee80211_tx_frags(struct ieee80211_local *local,
                               struct ieee80211_vif *vif,
                               struct ieee80211_sta *sta,
                               struct sk_buff_head *skbs,
                               bool txpending)

Thanks,
Ben
