Re: [lp-wan] re-order header field request

[Laurent Toutain <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I don't think it is a problem to keep it, in a All 1 Frag, even if we don't
use it (MIC is out of window numbering).  we have alignment on bytes when
we send a message, so the benefit is not obvious if we don't keep it.

But in  ACK message the W bit must be present.
