I checked this a bit further and I don't see the point in sending all packets here. In fact, if block_tx is set, we can't even send any more frames until the switch happens (or fails). So we should at least check this here.The block_tx is taken into account in the mac layer.This is a bit strange, though. I checked the code and nobody seems to be using the block_tx element of ieee80211_channel_switch, so I wonder why it's there at all.As far as I know the block_tx is for the DFS channel switch implementation, when block_tx=1, the firmware will not start tx on new channel.
I'll check this up with our firmware team. -- Cheers, Luca.
