The hardware handles it completely so you won't get an rx interrupt for these packets. But you will get TX completion interrupt for the packet that is being ACKed when the ACK is received, and the tx status will indicate success or failure. -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
