Hm, is anybody going to test this, or are there really no transmission
problems left? :)

It seems to work here. The dmesg output for my BCM4312 is:

Is this sufficient, or is there other output that you want to see?


But please note that current wireless-testing tree seems to have some
unrelated TX issues in mac80211 (see the discussions about the qdisc
and skb->cb stuff.)

AFAIK, this particular bug is limited to mainline. At least wireless still works in wireless-testing, but fails completely in Linus's tree.
