Well that patch would then be completely untested (I code, but have hardly time
to perform the testing myself).
I can already say that the patch from Ron will work despite the my
remark about the different meaning of the qid field.
My patch that will clean it up, and will fix the issue, will be something
that needs testing before it should be send upstream...
I want to prevent messes like the rt2x00 2.1.0 release, which was broken
in every possible way, from happening again in wireless-testing ;)
