I haven't thinked much about this yet, but your proposal of having a state machine most probably is the best option. It's just that earlier Johannes mentioned that it's not currently possible to know if null frame has been acked: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg21212.html We would have to solve that before implementing the state machine. > Or altogether you want that to be part of the driver and not in > mac80211? I think this needs to be in mac80211 because there are three drivers which need it (p54/stlc45xx, ath5/9k and b43). -- Kalle Valo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
