AR5K_TXDESC_NOACK (set it on each tx descriptor to disable ACKs for each frames -we do this for beacons already, check out base.c) AR5K_TXQ_FLAG_BACKOFF_DISABLE (set it when initializing queues, see how we handle the rest _TXQ_ flags on base.c) -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises.
