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, -- //Monthadar Al Jaberi
