The tx path doesn't seem to pass in more than the hardware and the skb,

mac80211 could be changed to pass in the VIF in the xmit path,
and then we could make sure that is passed through the entire
xmit process, but that would touch a lot of drivers and code.
It does pass this through in the skb's CB.
I'm more than happy to test any patches if someone thinks up
a different approach.
I just don't want drivers using struct net_device pointers anywhere,
because they shouldn't have to worry about them.
Can we just use:
sta = tx_info->control.sta
in ath_tx_complete_aggr()
?
Thanks,
