I tried, but for some reason setting IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK directly
in __ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap resulted in an oops upon unloading
the driver module.

Note that IEEE80211_TX_MON_NO_ACK is not equivalent to
!(IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ), as it also disables mac80211's built
in sequence numbering.
