I have been thinking about using nullfunc frames in connection monitor
with hw which have IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS. Here are my
current patches based on the idea. They have received minimal testing
and there's still some work to do.
But I would like to get comments what people think about this. Might
this create some kind of IOP problems, for example?
I also added a new hw flag to be able to offload connection monitoring
to the hardware.
