Applying the EDCA parameters in the hardware and sending "standard" WME IEs
(without EDCA parameter sets) is understandable, Linux does that too.=20
But are you really sending EDCA parameters in IBSS mode within the WME IEs?=
=20
After all, STAs in infrastructure don't do this either.

I don't understand why. If you apply the default EDCA parameters/QoS parame=
ters
in the hardware, it shouldn't make a difference if you transmit EDCA parame=
ters
in your beacons or not. I'm confused. :)
