Tested on 5211, 5213+5112, 5213A+2112A and it wors fine.

Also i figured out a way to process rate vallue found
on status descriptors, it's still buggy but we are getting
closer (i think it improved stability a little).

sparse sees int -> bool cast as an error:
hw.c:3754:10: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (ffffffea becomes 0)
Fix it by converting the rettype to int and check appropriately.

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.

reviewed beacon timer initialization with register traces from madwifi: what we
are doing is correct :). one minor fix: use 3 instead of 0x00000003 - it's more
readable.

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)
RF5112A multiband radio found (0x36)

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
