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...)

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.
