/*
* XXX If we aren't doing AMPDU TX then we /could/ do
* fast-frames encapsulation, however right now this
* output logic doesn't handle that case.
*
* So we'll be limited to "fast-frames" xmit for non-11n STA
* and "no fast frames" xmit for 11n STAs.
* It'd be nice to eventually test fast-frames out by
* gracefully falling from failing A-MPDU transmission
* (driver says no, fail to negotiate it with peer) to
* using fast-frames.
*
* Note: we can actually put A-MSDU's inside an A-MPDU,
* so hopefully we can figure out how to make that particular
* combination work right.
