Yes, I think that sounds better - I have a hard time imagining a firmware/driver that has space for the station, but doesn't automatically allocate a u16 bitmap as part of the station :-) > > > * @NL80211_CMD_SET_NOACK_MAP: sets a bitmap for the individual TIDs > > > whether > > > - * No Acknowledgement Policy should be applied. > > > + * No Acknowledgement Policy should be applied. %NL80211_ATTR_MAC is > > > used > > > + * to apply No Acknowledgement policy for a particular connected > > > station. > > > + * Station specific NoAck policy configuration is valid only for > > > STA's > > > + * current connection, i.e. the configuration will not be used when > > > the > > > + * station connects back after disconnection/roaming. > > > + * When user-space does not include %NL80211_ATTR_MAC, the No > > > + * Acknowledgement Policy setting should be treated as per-netdev > > > + * configuration. > > > > Here you describe different semantics - i.e. you didn't describe the > > "previous per-station settings are kept" part.
