The ack mechanism is implemented in firmware for the b43 chip and I
think it's understood pretty much completely how ACKing works in
the firmware. So you may want to take a look at b43-openfwwf.
The guys who created b43-openfwwf also experimented with this
kind of stuff, so you might want to contact them.
