There are some bugs in the current implementation of the SIOCSIWAP wext,
for example that when you do it twice and it fails, it may still try
another access point for some reason. This patch fixes this by introducing
a new flag that tells the association code that the bssid that is in use
was fixed by the user and shouldn't be deviated from.

Below patch was developed after discussion with Daniel Drake who
mentioned to me that wireless tools expect an EAGAIN return from getscan
so that they can wait for the scan to finish before printing out the
results.

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.

This patch updates the copyright statements in softmac that I
erroneously added for 2005 only (when we already had 2006).
