Patch fixes the ad-hoc mode by
1) Removing redundant clear_stations_table which prevented generation of
beacons.
2) Setting assoc_id to 1. It was never set so preventing tx flow
in iwl3945_tx_skb.

Configure the mac address in add_interface and clear it in
remove_interface so that users can change the mac address
to something other than the one in the eeprom. Also avoid
setting it at attach time so that we won't ack packets
until fully set up.

CHANNEL_CCK flag is set for all 2 Ghz channels, so IS_CHAN_CCK() would
turn out to be true for all channles in that band.
Use IS_CHAN_B() now, which checks the channel mode and not the channel
flags.

Make the DMAable mameory consistent with pci_set_consistent_dma_mask().
The DMA-mapping.txt Documentation recommends this but for PCI-X
considerations and on strange architecture like SGI SN2, not sure
why it would fix an issue but lets see if it does, just in case.
Before this, this driver was tested with x86_64 with about

Instead of hardcoding the used in/out endpoints
we should detect them by walking through all
available endpoints.
rt2800usb will gain the most out of this, because
the legacy drivers indicate that there are multiple
endpoints available.
However this code might benefit at least rt73usb as
well for the MIMO queues, and if we are really lucky
rt2500usb will benefit because for the TX and PRIO
queues.
Even if rt2500usb and rt73usb do not get better performance
after this patch, the endpoint detection still belongs to
rt2x00usb, and it shouldn't hurt to always try to detect
the available endpoints.

Realtek 8187B has a receive command queue to feedback beacon interrupt
and transmitted packet status. Use it to feedback mac80211 about status
of transmitted packets. Unfortunately in the course of testing I found
that the sequence number reported by hardware includes entire sequence
control in a 12 bit only field, so a workaround is done to check only
lowest bits.

Hin-Tak Leung reported that after the change "rtl8187: add short slot
handling for 8187B" his RTL8187B started to give low throughput on
network transfers. Turns out that the SIFS setting used isn't ok, it
doesn't look to be the real aSIFSTime, using the "magical" 0x22 value
like on other 818x variants as the vendor does too fixes the issue.

Race condition causes RX buffers to be accessed even before it is
initialized. The RX and TX buffers are initialized immediately after
the hardware is registered with mac80211. The mac80211 start callback
is ready to be fired once the device is registered for a case when the
wpa_supplicant is also running at the same time.
The same race condition is also possible for RKFILL registration
as RFKILL init happens after the device registration with mac80211
and it is possible that rfkill_register would be called even before
it is initialized.

This enables the custom firmware regulatory solution option
on iwlwifi drivers. These devices are uncapable of mapping their
EEPROM regulatory domain to a specific ISO / IEC alpha2.
Although the new 11n devices (>= iwl 5000) have only
3 regultaory SKUs -- MOW, ABG (no N) and BG -- the older
devices (3945 and 4965) have a more complex SKU arrangement
and therefore its not practical to move this to the driver.

5 mac80211 filter flags: FIF_OTHER_BSS, FIF_ALLMULTI, FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS,
FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC and FIF_CONTROL. This patch also avoids reconnecting
if the filter flags are changed when the STA is associated. Because rx_assoc
