Subject: [clarification request] ieee80211_tx_control.pkt_type
Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2006 13:41:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1155901317.22520.2.camel@ux156> (raw)

Hey,

I was pondering the ieee80211_tx_control type and don't see anyone using
the pkt_type field. d80211 makes great effort to have it correct, but no
driver uses it.

Hence, my question: What is the purpose of this field? Under what
circumstances would a driver have to know this? Especially considering
that it's only "normal" vs. "probe response"...
