No worries, I just was not aware of any USB devices with the 9280 in
it and the ath9k_htc "supported chips" are the 9271 and 7010.

So will assume you dealt with this then.

I have not done a lot of delving into the ath9k_htc code myself and I
am not familiar with interfacing with the chips via USB. Normally with
a 9280 where the tx ctrl descriptors are DMA'ed in I just need to make
sure that bit 24 of the third tx ctrl descriptor is set to 1. I did a
cursory look at how a frame is handed from kernel down to hardware and
the hardware control is done through flags set on a struct
tx_frame_hdr. I looked at the flags defined for ath9k_htc and I see no
sign of a flag to control ACK's. So I think this has to be punted to
one of the Atheros guys or someone with the spec sheets that can say
if there is a bit in the flags field to turn off ACK.

Sorry I couldn't be much more help.

Daniel
