Yeah, and that's why I've taken care to not change anything that would affect iwlwifi although I'd like to :) But this would make it possible to have ath9k not use its own sequence numbers if it doesn't drop frames (and iwlwifi doesn't really drop frames any more anyway, so here's to hoping you can at some point use the mac80211 provided sequence numbers too) johannes --=-T4AChzwuDxwyPCp1ZfVB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJImylBAAoJEKVg1VMiehFY5O4P/iE9DZXgOTP4EPD1baIqrpGq Zq8ES2EH36YcWX7XlCAEAiOn29w46T0WW124upXBPsS1MjnGE1wJNNTOzf7g2Gsd QhYK4mH/vN+dwFTQ1sgG/7Iih5O5zmNpAqoNXtm1/2kYTVlV3T8XzAW2JX8nB/uG vqhtytQdAVBo5PLi1zLK8r2izIcZVvJZSNPVP+s/cya5btWq2AHNFECJFijK1srX RuEEcOYkDCYcPr+jmZ044d363CHg5aEbTsR2FCeTO8MqCsAg8nfWV8vPOTRLxeoh YHoWa57sbx+QfiQMP6lzgdNSkfXRUdEp30iIFFfBCeK1+MoeEeDn/6C5mX/jsHTO wU45ECi/wm1z0FCB/CCKysk3ayBMJKcCFe6PkalabWFeshfVuzXrkeelneRtTt02 aznNMP2idH6SXoKXW0vpCEfuuy3g0BUgQeltlHBFeMtPtQkBknxVbjCH/Y0QtHZg 4Ix0535xU0F7nPsyJL7oOgz5GXbtSs1qP3unal3rEqJWMTiYJJOj7qt7N/cOUQcJ L7mAmBs9QEXqXFU22MDqMjxg0TYOzmOXJnh+/YB+4C775VBTCXJJnzDgzJlQegm3 Cby09//oO9GHcojz1sOT/EYhvj3kZmU456cmIqB4K3dp9ayMDhyR4IT90MOmve9m vJO8ceCjw4jDaLnFTf4/ =msQJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-T4AChzwuDxwyPCp1ZfVB--
