New Revision: 218238
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/218238

Log:
  Disable the code I previously added from Rui's 802.11n branch.
  
  A-MPDU RX interferes with packet retransmission/reordering.
  In local testing, I was seeing A-MPDU being negotiated and then
  not used by the AP sending frames to the STA; the STA would then
  treat non A-MPDU frames that are retransmits as out of the window
  and get plain confused.
  
  The hardware RX status descriptor has a "I'm part of an aggregate"
  bit; so this should eventually be tested and then punted to the
  A-MPDU reorder handling only if it has this bit set.
