I feel that my response was accurate, but the wording wasn't precise enough. We have two possibilities: 1) the AP does support A-MSDU in A-MPDU 2) the AP does not support A-MSDU in A-MPDU In the first case, the AP will reply with that bit set and the client can choose to send A-MSDU or not. I don't think that the AP needs to allocate anything special to support A-MSDU in A-MPDU, so it is free to ask. In the second case, the AP will reply with that same bit clear in the AddBA response, and mac0211 / driver will know not to send A-MSDU in A-MPDU (which the driver doesn't support in the case you were describing - so this is a no-op). The only concern you may have is about APs that would decline the AddBA request because of that bit. That doesn't seem to happen since a lot of vendors use A-MSDU in A-MPDU. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
