Hi!

You can declare an mbuf tag and use that. Look at M_TXCB in net80211 and
how mbuf tags are added.

I've long thought about adding a net80211 mbuf tag to represent -all- of
the tx related state - TX callback, rate control, rate completion,
aggregation state, retry count, etc. That way all the drivers can use it.
