Make some changes which mimic what we see in register dumps.
This patch does not add a helper to ath5k_hw_reset(). It
does seem clear we need a re-shuffle around ath5k_hw_reset()
though as code in there is lengthy and already hitting 80-char
limit. This can be dealt with later though.

* Since RF2413 it seems that RF_BUFFER settings are different (notice
that the last part -"bank 7" or whatever- is smaller than in 5111/5112).
So until we know what's going on we assume there is no gain optimization
stuff in post-5112 chips.

Cleanup after API changes patch (checkpatch.pl stuff) and on
ath5k_hw_channel() make use of the existing ath5k_channel_ok()
instead of re-implementing the checks again. This was necessary
to make the code cleaner and fit the 80-chars wide limit so
sending it within the same patch.
Finally make a note that we *may* eventually move cap_range stuff
to struct wiphy (band frequency range capabilities). This
information can later be exported to userspace, for example,
and giving it access to mac80211 and drivers in general can come
in handy.

when setting up the tx descriptors for the hardware we must account for any
padding between the header and the data we might have added previously. frame
len is the length of the frame in the air (including FCS but no padding) and
buffer len is the length of the buffer (including padding, but without FCS).
changing the way ah_setup_tx_desc is called: now excluding the FCS, since it's
easier to add that in the function where we need it.
before this fix we sent trailing zero bytes after the packet (because frame len
included the padding) which was not a big problem without WEP, but with WEP
this resultes in a wrong WEP checksum and the packet is discarded - which is
how i noticed at all ;)
an easy way to run into header padding problems, btw, is to connect to a QoS
(WME) enabled access point (eg. madwifi) - QoS data frames are 2 byte longer
and will require padding.
this patch applies on top of luis latest patch series from 04.02.2008.

always extend the rx timestamp with the local TSF, since this information is
also needed for proper IBSS merging. this is done in the tasklet for now, maybe
has to be moved to the interrupt handler like in madwifi.

in "11.1.2.2 Beacon generation in an IBSS" the IEEE802.11 standard says, each
STA should... "b) Calculate a random delay uniformly distributed in the range
between zero and twice aCWmin × aSlotTime,".
configure cwmin and cwmax of the beacon queue in IBSS mode according to this.
unfortunately beacon backoff does not work reliably yet, so i suspect we have a
problem somewhere else, since the same settings (and similar beacon timer
configuration) work for madwifi.

use SWBA (software beacon alert) interrupts to keep track of the next beacon
time und check if a HW merge (automatic TSF update) has happened on every
received beacon with the same BSSID.
this is necessary because the atheros hardware will silently update the local
TSF in IBSS mode, but not its beacon timers. if the TSF is ahead of the beacon
timers no beacons are sent until the timers wrap around (typically after about
1 minute).
this solution is not very nice, since we have to look into every beacon, but
there is apparently no other way to detect HW merges.

update ath5k_beacon_update_timers() for better beacon timer calculation in a
variety of situations. most important is the possibility to call it with the
timestamp of a received beacon, when we detected that a HW merge has happened
and we need to reconfigure the beacon timers based on that.
we call this from the mac80211 callback reset_tsf now instead of beacon_update,
and there will be more use of it in the next patch.

This patch fixes an oops which was introduced as a regression by
commit fd640775bd16e1df50c867cc547af0, on the patch titled,
"mac80211: dont use interface indices in drivers".
ieee80211_generic_frame_duration() now relies on sdata->flags which
itself gets set upon bringing the interface up. We check for the
virtual interface now before setting the rate duration registers.
After the mode changes are introduced onto mac80211 we should revisit
these changes.
This patch was tested on the following cards:
1) BG card:
Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59, PHY: 0x43)
RF2112A 2GHz radio found (0x46)
2) ABG card:
Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59,PHY: 0x43)

This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of
a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This
structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and
contains a variable length driver-use data area.
This has two advantages:
* removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better
for working with network namespaces and performance
* allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without
having to allocate own lists/hash tables
