mac80211: set CLEAR_PS for pspolled frames
This patch sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT for outgoing frames for a half-wake station. this is necessary if one wants to get ps-poll working properly with a p54 ap. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
