According to IEEE 802.11-2012 section 8.3.2 table 8-19, the outer SA/DA
of A-MSDU frames need to be changed depending on FromDS/ToDS values.

"Need to" is perhaps a bit strongly worded, but whatever :)

I was going to write a long reply and whatever - but I think that's all
moot. As far as I can tell, you got this completely wrong, as you're
changing the *inner* headers, not the *outer* header as you should?

Oh, no, my mistake - this happens before 802.3->.11 conversion.

So this does look correct, but I don't like that you write to
amsdu_hdr.h_{source,dest} twice after the patch.

I think you should have da and sa variables and set those, and then
memcpy only once.
