Hello,

I'm finally getting around to trying this.

One thing, the second patch won't compile due to missing ath9k_set_moredata method.

I see it is implemented here:

http://git.fem.tu-ilmenau.de/?p=fem-wlan.git;a=blob;f=package/kernel/mac80211/patches/310-ath9k-fix-moredata-bit-in-PS-buffered-frame-release.patch;h=b2a74ccbacb29115bede4806006f3265f54cb31c;hb=refs/heads/femwlan_stage2.kernel4.9

I guess I should apply this one...maybe more?

Any idea if any of these patches should be submitted upstream?

Thanks,
Ben
