Terry,
Unfortunately the relevant standard (IEEE802.11e) specifies the feature as being implemented via bits in the WiFi MAC layer frames, not the IP layer packets. This necessarily requires an API if a user-space application wants to set specific options for its packets, it seems to me that MAC layer handling can only take place in kernel space.
