[RESEND PATCH v2 8/9] mac80211: Always report TX status

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Andrei Otcheretianski <andrei.otcheretianski@xxxxxxxxx>

If a frame is dropped for any reason, mac80211 wouldn't report the TX
status back to user space.

As the user space may rely on the TX_STATUS to kick its state
machines, resends etc, it's better to just report this frame as not
acked instead.
