If I said "there is no need for intelligence in the network hardware" I did not mean that. There is plenty! of room for more intelligence there, just no need (for non-mu-mimo) for more than 2 txops of queuing in the onboard memory, or firmware, or driver.
It is kind of my hope actually that by reducing the max queuing in the wifi chip that we can fit more code into the firmware, like keeping better statistics or putting in better rate control information, or doing saner things with interrupts, or presenting a better API, etc.
