Subject: [PATCH 2/2] iwl4965: report A-MPDU status

This patch is based on "iwlwifi: report A-MPDU status".
(12bf6f45d1703858)

Since the firmware will give us an A-MPDU bit and
only a single PHY information packet for all the
subframes in an A-MPDU, we can easily report the
minimal A-MPDU information for radiotap.

OK, I'm confused...this ACK is for the patch posted on 18 Jan as
"[PATCH 2/2] iwl4965: report A-MPDU status". But on the next day
(19 Jan) there was a patch posted as "[RFC ] iwl4965: report A-MPDU
status" that seems to be different. What a I missing? Is this the
right patch to merge?

Cool, thanks for the explanation!

Ah yes, maybe I can explain it.

Nothing I hope.

The patch "[PATCH 2/2] iwl4965: report A-MPDU status" might have
the date 2013-01-18, but it was sent on the 26th... A week after
the RFC.

Note: The RFC is just both patches ("report A-MPDU status" and
"iwlegacy: fix antenna mask") merged into one. I did that because
I wanted to point out the issue of the *shared* bit (antenna mask
vs ampdu indicator). And thankfully, Johannes explained that...
"the definition in question has always been the same for all
hardware. I just didn't fix it for 4965 since it was split off
to iwlegacy already."

Note2: I had to edit the patch "fix antenna mask" a second time,
that's why it has a newer date.

> Is this the right patch to merge?
Yes.

Best Regards,
Christian
