Hi,
How is ack frames being handled by the net80211? I guess the driver
(or maybe hardware) takes care of resending, but what happens if it
max number of retries is reached? How is net8011 notified?
There is ieee80211_add_callback that I think should be used for that,
but it is only used by managment frames of type
IEEE80211_FC0_SUBTYPE_ASSOC_REQ, IEEE80211_FC0_SUBTYPE_REASSOC_REQ and
IEEE80211_FC0_SUBTYPE_AUTH (in station mode) and one for HT code.
What about the others? I guess the hardware only keeps stat counters
for failures....
br,
