> rt2x00: Remove ieee80211_tx_control argument from write_tx_desc()

> I believe that there is a problem with that patch --- it
> (inadvertantly) removes an extra line of code, that used to set the
> DATABYTE_COUNT field.
>
> This patch reinstates that line, and with it my card works again.

> The original version I sent still used the skbdesc->data_len which has
> been removed; this version of the patch applies on top of 2.6.27-rc1.
