This is required to allow my proposed IEEE80211_F_TX_NOSEQ radiotap flag to work. (Right now, even if mac80211's ieee80211_tx_h_sequence is bypassed, injected packets will still have their sequence numbers overwritten, preventing proper injection of fragments, and by grepping through the code of zd1211rw, there appears to be no code to disable HW sequence number generation. Potentially this might mean that mac80211-generated sequence numbers also get overwritten by HW-generated ones!) --Gábor -- 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
