I get that, but we want to give some WMM priority to bcast as they tend to have
higher probability of loss under high network loads.

That special TID that you mentioned, is it set in the ath10k fw?
Because I traced the
htt and it is sending the intended tid in the txbuf flags, but bcast
still come 0 (BE) on air.
Or am I missing something in the driver?

Thanks again for help.
