We don't make much of an attempt to fall back to lower rates, and 54M
just isn't reliable enough for many people. In fact, it's not clear we
even set it to 11M if we're trying to associate with an 802.11b AP.
This patch makes us default to 11M, which ought to work for most people.
When we actually handle dynamic rate adjustment, we can reconsider the
defaults -- but even then, probably it makes as much sense to start at
11M and adjust it upwards as it does to start at 54M and reduce it.

It currently takes something like 8 seconds to do a scan, because we
spend half a second on each channel. Reduce that time to 20ms per
channel.

The attached patch removes a potential problem from ieee80211_wx.c, by changing the name of routine
ipw2100_translate_scan to ieee80211_translate_scan. The problem is minor as the routine is declared
static; however, if it were made global, it would pollute the namespace.

Fixed encrypted of EAPOL frames from wlan#ap interface (hostapd). This
was broken when moving to use new frame control field defines in
net/ieee80211.h. hostapd uses Protected flag, not protocol version
(which was cleared in this function anyway). This fixes WPA group key
handshake and re-authentication.

hostap_tx_encrypt() is used only inside hostap_80211_tx.c and there
are no plans to use it elsewhere in the future either, so let's make
it static. As a bonus, this should silence Coverity scanner from
complaining about bogus FORWARD_NULL case (CID: 274).

The "dev->get_wireless_stats" field is deprecated and slowly
be surely going away. Most drivers have been updated months
ago. Actually, there is an annoying message for driver still using it,
but it seems that user of zd1201 were not annoyed enough ;-)

It seems to me that the today's wireless-2.6 git contains bcm43xx which
does not free txb's correctly, if I understand it right.
Consider a situation where a txb with two skb's is sent down.
The dma_tx_fragment will save the pointer to meta->txb of the first
fragment. If fragments are freed in order, ieee80211_txb_free frees both
skb's when the first fragment is processed. This may result in reuse
of the second skb's memory.
This danger is rather remote, but it seems to me that the patch
below not only fixes the problem, but also makes the code simpler,
which is good, right?

The proper fix for this is to move IRQ enabling to the end of
init_board. But this is nontrivial and needs to be done with care.
Stay with this cheap workaround for now.
