Hi Xose,

Thanks for your hint to really take all drivers into account.
I changed the following drivers tx-path to handle the new sts struct:
adm8211
at76c50x-usb
libertas_tf
rtlwifi
wl1251
wlcore

As soon as my last Broadcom patch is accepted,
my renewed sta-change patch goes on the list.

Greetings Thomas
