By the looks of ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap() it seems that most
radiotap is ignored on Tx path.

Anyway I hope you're aware upstream ath10k doesn't support packet injection.

Also due to firmware design there's no way to specify Tx rate for each
frame. Using per-vdev fixed rate param would require really nasty
hacks in driver. I'm not even sure if it's possible with official
firmware to change mgmt and multicast tx rate (I think CT firmware
from Ben has that). I guess using `iw wlanX set bitrates` explicitly
would be better and cleaner - but first you need to get injection to
work at all.
