Not sure. But there isn't a per-descriptor table in the driver. There's
a per-station table, that *can* be used in similar ways, but at least
in Linux none of the APIs are hooked up to the general implementation,
it's all driver/device-specific code, so it'd be very painful to try to
experiment with.
