After some more research I have a similar question for the RX path. The device will strip the IV out of the ieee80211 frame but provides the IV/EIV seperately in the descriptor. Would it be any added value to instead of setting the RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED flag the IV is reinserted into the frame, provide the IV/EIV seperately in struct ieee80211_rx_status, or simply set RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED and ignore the entire field? Thanks. Ivo
