Can you change your quote string from " > " to "> "? Just asking, if you
can't/don't want to that's fine, it just always confuses me for a

highlight " > " indented text as quote too.

Sure, adding (setq vm-included-text-prefix "> ") in my .emacs did the trick. :)

Thanks! :)

Well, currently ath9k maintains a buffer list for each tid.
When mac80211 sends down a frame, if the recipient has an aggr. session going,
it is appended to the tid's buffer list. Non-HT frames are sent out immediately.

Incidentally, why the distinction between HT and non-HT frames?

HT frames for aggregation enabled STAs are processed in the TX completion path, so
they are buffered.

But couldn't non-HT frames be buffered similarly? Maybe I'm missing one
of the finer points of the 11n draft?

On TX completion, we run through all the ACs, STAs and TIDs and send out pending
frames as aggregates.

So basically you can always have one frame or one aggregation
"pack" (for lack of a better word) queued to the hw?

I am not sure, I should check.

Doesn't really matter, I was just trying to make sense out of your
statement of processing it at completion time.

Makes sense, ath9k currently has a similar set of functions ( pausing/resuming TIDs).
How would the pending frames for each TID be managed ?
Will the driver be able to pull them as and when needed or would mac80211
push them down on checking if the TID is awake ?

I guess there's no clear answer here. How about "whichever you want"?
Though I think I prefer pushing them down as that makes the model easier
to understand. It probably also makes the Intel case easier to
implement.
