Subject: [PATCH v2] 802.11n frame injection

This patch allows to set the tx rate and retries when injecting,
and report correct MCS information on received frames.
This v2 version sets IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_HEADROOM to a correct value

This description is wrong. It doesn't touch rx.c, does it?

It does appear to touch radiotap processing, and I bet the developer
tested this, but other than that don't know.

The old patch added RX processing but now all it's merged in mainline
and the only piece left in rx.c was:

so I decided to remove this chunk, but I forget the original description

... yeah but I said it's not _only_ injection, you also have TX feedback
w/o injection, so this isn't injection related.

After injecting a frame I have a TX feedback, why shouldn't it have

I think you should also split the patch -- this part isn't really only
injection.
