Send 802.11 frames with ESP32 without any restrictions

Is it now possible to send 802.11 frames without restrictions?

Some months ago it wasn't possible to send specific frames (except e.g. beacon frames). And if yes, how? Does someone has a minimal example for this?

No, this is not currently possible.

It is possible to hackily call esp_wifi_internal_tx() to send 802.11 data frames (only), as if they were being sent by the LWIP TCP/IP stack. This isn't a supported use of this undocumented internal API, though.

There are some plans to expand the documented 802.11 raw frame functionality in future ESP-IDF releases, but there is no ETA for this yet.
