Really? But how, all I did was "ask questions"?

ok, I never got around and tested mesh mode
operation with carl9170 properly.

Well, ok. So the code is confusing :-/. I guess
the _mpdu should be split into to parts so it's
more obvious when a trap handler can be inserted.

Ok, maybe the terminology is a bit odd in this case. Normally
when I think of the word filter, then I think of something which
prevent things from going trough. However mac80211's 
"configure_filter" is sort of the opposite, e.g.: if FIF_CONTROL
is set, then control frames like BA/ACKS/BARS/RTS/CTS/... should
"pass-through". But I've already updated the fwcmd.h include,
so when the next fw release comes along it should hit the driver
as well.
