There is also no need for hotpath xmit handling is disabled during this time. It is just an async messaging in some interval and just "try" to send it and don't care if it fails, or? For mac802154 therefore I think we should use the dev_queue_xmit() function to queue it up to send it through the hotpath? I can ack those patches, it will work as well. But I think we should switch at some point to dev_queue_xmit(). It should be simple to switch it. Just want to mention there is a difference which will be there in mac-cmds like association. btw: what is about security handling... however I would declare this feature as experimental anyway. - Alex
