That would be great as I have the necessary hardware. 7260 will go. Not 5300. Note that this code simulates Tx TCP Csum offload. I did that to write the code while we still don't have the hardware that has this capability. But for testing purposes, it should do the work. The testing teams have reported that AP mode didn't work quite well with this and I haven't taken the time to look into yet, but if you see issues, please report them or even better: fix them :) > > Which Linux tree do these patches apply to?

These patches had a long internal review cycle. They are now merge in our internal tree. You can find them in our internal tree [1] (backport based). I will push them soon in iwlwifi-next.git.
