So maybe we can relax the rules a bit (unless we become really > incompliant with the standard of course). I don't really see how to. We can't just assume the station got the frame properly and advance our state machine. The case you're citing is quite different, we'll advance the state machine but it won't work because the STA crashed; if we advance but the station simply hasn't gotten the frame we'll get out of sync and stuff will fail for no real reason. But you can do workarounds all you want in hostapd, I don't care. However, I do think that if the hardware just isn't up to the job you should probably buy new hardware, after all, it's dirt cheap. :) johannes
