From: Malcolm Priestley <tvboxspy@xxxxxxxxx> commit a6388e68321a1e0a0f408379c2a36396807745b3 upstream. Information for packet type is in ieee80211_tx_info band IEEE80211_BAND_5GHZ for PK_TYPE_11A. IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_CTS_PROTECT via tx_rate flags selects PK_TYPE_11GB This ensures that the packet is always the right type.
