Ah ok, I wasn't aware that libertas had a working TX status reporting. :)

Well my plans were to enable the batch TX updating through a mac80211 flag,
or some other methoed where it is up to the driver to enable the batch TX
status updating. So nothing should change for the other drivers which do not
need this feature. :)

But it is good to know that at least some USB hardware do not have the
TX status problem. :)
