Set the retry limit to 0 and disable the ACK policy for injected packets.

Sorry for the partly broken patches, I thought I configured my client the
right way. I tried to stop the mails at my mailserver, but it was mostly
already too late.

Hi,
Unfortunately this is not the right thing to do - something like this
should be done in mac80211, but triggered by radiotap (sometimes, it
makes sense to inject packets and expect ACKs). See the list for
earlier discussions about the TX Flags field, and
patches.aircrack-ng.org for a proof-of-concept implementation.

Agreed. Again I prefer the less-logic-in-the-driver philosophy.

Yeah, you are right. I will remove the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED check, but I
think the rate class setting for IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK frames is still needed,
as my testing showed that the ack_policy setting is not sufficient to disable
retries.
