Dividing the beacon interval by ATH_BCBUF (8) truncates the result for

Fix the calculation by moving the division after conversion from TU to

The beacon code previously reset TSF on every configuration call, as
some of the code was not prepared to properly calculate nexttbtt based
on current TSF.

This patch adds a common function for calculating nexttbtt and moves the
TSF reset to driver start.

This should improve AP mode compatibility with various stations that
expect the TSF to not randomly jump due to hardware resets.

The CAB (Content after Beacon) queue is used for beacon-triggered
transmission of buffered multicast frames. If lots of multicast frames
were buffered and this queue fills up, it drowns out all regular

the queued data to becaon_interval / 8.

On joining an existing IBSS network, beaconing has to start
only after a TSF sync has happened by receiving a beacon from
the BSS. In creator mode, beaconing can start immediately after
a HW reset has been done.

Now that mac80211 notifies the driver of the mode type (creator/joiner)
via ieee80211_bss_conf->ibss_creator, make use of it to properly setup
the HW beacon timers.
