Hi,

Ok, so I'm going to put this on hold for now. I think wpi could benefit from what I did with iwn to defer sending frames on 5GHz until it sees a beacon frame - and that kind of wants a staging queue like this with a deferred transmit routine.

Take a look at what is in iwn and see what you think. I don't know if you've had any issues with 5GHz on wpi.

I will try to defer it via the mechanism, described in D3770.
