Well we can always pick out those action frames in the kernel if we want
to, that's not the problem, is it?

Should the design be changed? It seems that this is more related to the
rate scale algorithm and the "can we support aggregation for this STA"
question, both of which we currently have information about in the
kernel and not hostapd.
