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"...
