I don't remember how mac80211 wants to handle the cases when the hardware doesn't provide ack status, but lying that to mac80211 sounds like a bad idea to me. Anyone have any suggestions how this should be handled? At the minimum add a proper comment explaining why you are lying to mac80211. -- Kalle Valo
