Subject: mac80211: provide sequence numbers I've come to think that not providing sequence numbers for the normal STA mode case was a mistake, at least two drivers now had to implement code they wouldn't otherwise need, and I believe at76_usb and adm8211 might be broken. This patch makes mac80211 assign a sequence number to all those frames that need one except beacons. That means that if a driver only implements modes that do not do beaconing it need not worry about the sequence number.
