I suspect you need to be looking at hacking firmware.
You might look at the open-source ar9170 firmware
or the b43-openfwwf project.

probably not ar9170 either.
The ACK - mechanism (response control) is mostly hardwired in
the chip, there is not much to control here.

The ack mechanism is implemented in firmware for the b43 chip and I
think it's understood pretty much completely how ACKing works in
the firmware. So you may want to take a look at b43-openfwwf.
The guys who created b43-openfwwf also experimented with this
kind of stuff, so you might want to contact them.

You can also look at ath_hw_set_bssid_mask() for ath5k, ath9k, which

Just in case I'm missing something:  It doesn't appear that upstream ath5k has any
support for virtual interfaces?  I'm trying to get ath5k working
now, based on my .31 patches...
