Hi Johannes,

I have overlooked the following patch when you submitted it to this list:
	mac80211: allow easier multicast/broadcast buffering in hardware

But I have a question about it, the flag IEEE80211_TXCTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM
indicates that the frame should be send after the beacon because of PS buffering,
but doesn't that mean the same thing as using the queue id:
	IEEE80211_TX_QUEUE_AFTER_BEACON
(Which for rt2x00 resolves to using the ATIM queue...)

Ivo

Well, that queue isn't used in mac80211... I am not familiar enough with
the qos code yet to say for sure what the problem is.
