rt2x00: Forbid aggregation for STAs not programmed into the hw
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If a STA is not known by the hw (i.e. has no WCID assigned) don't allow
aggregation since this might mess up tx status reports and we won't be
able to distinguish the reports of multiple WCID-less STAs.
