Anyway, the reason is that the driver may not know the VIF (and
vif may be deleted) when calling the ieee80211_rts_duration, so it needs to be stored
in the tx_info structure.

But the vif pointer in the tx_info structure is valid during the entire
tx() call, why would you need to call rts_duration during TX status?

Err, I guess you are right.  I was thinking it might retransmit sometime
later, but at least ath5k doesn't appear to do this.

I'll remove that part of the patch unless someone thinks of a reason
to keep it.

Thanks,
