ath9k: Avoid corrupt frames being forwarded to mac80211.
If bit 29 is set, MAC H/W can attempt to decrypt the received aggregate
with WEP or TKIP, eventhough the received frame may be a CRC failed
corrupted frame. If this bit is set, H/W obeys key type in keycache.
If it is not set and if the key type in keycache is neither open nor
AES, H/W forces key type to be open. But bit 29 should be set to 1
for AsyncFIFO feature to encrypt/decrypt the aggregate with WEP or TKIP.

Quote from comment #17:
"The problem is the innocent looking moving of the tx processing to
after the rx processing in the tasklet. Quoting from the changelog:
This patch does it the same way, except that it also prioritize
rx data processing, simply because tx routines *can* wait.
This is causing an issue with us referencing already freed memory,
because some skb's we transmit, we immediately receive back, such
as those for reading the eeprom (*) and getting stats.
What can happen because of the moving of the tx processing to after
the rx processing is that when the tasklet first runs after doing a
special skb tx (such as eeprom) we've already received the answer
to it.
Then the rx processing ends up calling p54_find_and_unlink_skb to
find the matching tx skb for the just received special rx skb and
frees the tx skb.
Then after the processing of the rx skb answer, and thus freeing
the tx skb, we go process the completed tx ring entires, and then
dereference the free-ed skb, to see if it should free free-ed by
p54p_check_tx_ring()."

mac80211: Fix sta->last_tx_rate setting with no-op rate control devices
The sta->last_tx_rate is traditionally updated just before transmitting a
frame based on information from the rate control algorithm. However, for
hardware drivers with IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL this is not performed,
as the rate control algorithm is not executed, and because the used rate is
not known before the frame has actually been transmitted.
This causes atleast a fixed 1Mb/s to be reported to user space. A few other
instances of code also rely on this information.
Fix this by setting the sta->last_tx_rate in tx_status handling. There, look
for last rates entry set by the driver, and use that as value for
sta->last_tx_rate.

When I set up multiple VAPs with ath9k, I encountered an issue that
the traffic may be lost after a while.
The detailed phenomenon is
1. After a while the clients connected to one of these VAPs will get
into a state that no broadcast/multicast packets can be transfered
successfully while the unicast packets can be transfered normally.
2. Minutes latter the unitcast packets transfer will fail as well,
because the ARP entry is expired and it can't be freshed due to the
broadcast trouble.
It's caused by the group key overwritten and someone discussed this
issue in ath9k-devel maillist before, but haven't work out a fix yet.
I referred the method in madwifi, and made a patch for ath9k.
The method is to set the high bit of the sender(AP)'s address, and
associated that mac and the group key. It requires the hardware
supports multicast frame key search. It seems true for AR9160.
Not sure whether it's the correct way to fix this issue. But it seems
to work in my test. The patch is attached, feel free to revise it.
