Subject[PATCH] [22/223] mac80211: clear txflags for ps-filtered frames
Date
2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com>

commit eb7d3066cf864342e8ae6a5c1126a1602c4d06c0 upstream.

This patch fixes stale mac80211_tx_control_flags for
filtered / retried frames.

Because ieee80211_handle_filtered_frame feeds skbs back
into the tx path, they have to be stripped of some tx
flags so they won't confuse the stack, driver or device.
