well, the firmware parses some parts of the ieee80211 header.
And we are actually supposed to tell the firmware about the station aid,
on every tx (and that's why there's a AID field in the tx_info struct now. ;-) 
It's not used yet, but it will when Linville returns...

well, if you take a look at the cx3110x log you can see
that the duration & sequence field is always zero...

the firmware is actually ~30kb of ARM-code, but unfortunatly
they decided to pack it...

Really?! Well, from my POV it would be better to kickstart FreeMAC,
rather than writing a driver for these LMAC Firmwares... seriously!
