+Reason for it not being merged upstream yet: backlog.
+Since this will help with load and memory we want this for
+final testing and evaluation of the driver.

+Subject: [PATCH] carl9170: support firmware-based rx filter
+
+The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because
+of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn.
+Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were
+left with the job of filtering.
+
+This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive
+in terms of latency, memory and load.
+
+Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible
+filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to
+offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check,
+RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible.
+
+Note:
+This patch also includes all changes to the
+shared headers files since the inclusion.
