Unlike CCMP, the presence or absence of the QoS field doesn't change the encryption, only the TID is used. When no QoS field is present, zero is used as the TID value. This means that it is possible for an attacker to take a QoS packet with TID 0 and replay it as a non-QoS packet. Unfortunately, mac80211 uses different IVs for checking the validity of the packet's TKIP IV when it checks TID 0 and when it checks non-QoS packets. This means it is vulnerable to this replay attack. To fix this, use the same replay counter for TID 0 and non-QoS packets by overriding the rx->queue value to 0 if it is 16 (non-QoS). This is a minimal fix for now.
