I have reread the related subclause, it seems standards allow STA to
ignore mcast/bcast's TX seq when detecting duplicated MAC frames; this
also means the sysctl may not be necessary at all.

Please nuke all old patches and test a new patch :)
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~sephe/skip_multi.diff

No extra sysctl tuning is needed for this patch.  And please make a
quickkernel at least, since in the last patch I changed layout of
ieee80211com and I reverted it in the above patch.

I will wait a week for your to test it.

Best Regards,
sephe
