The association response IEs are sent to userland with an IWEVCUSTOM
event, which unfortunately is limited to a little more than 100 bytes
of IE information with the encoding used. Many APs send so much
IE information that this message overflows. When the IWEVCUSTOM
event is too large, the kernel doesn't send it to userland anyway --
better just not to send it.
An attempt was made by Jouni Malinen to correct this issue by
converting to use IWEVASSOCREQIE and IWEVASSOCRESPIE messages instead
("mac80211: Use IWEVASSOCREQIE instead of IWEVCUSTOM"). Unfortunately,
that caused a problem due to 32-/64-bit interactions on some systems and
was reverted after the 'userland ABI' rule was invoked. That leaves
us with this option instead of a proper fix, at least until we move
to a cfg80211-based solution.

This patch fixes the led behavior in IBSS. After we joined an IBSS cell we
need to inform the led that we got associated. Although there is no 802.11
association in IBSS mode, the semantic of "There is a link" is relevant.
This allows the led to blink in IBSS mode (at least this solves a bug for
iwlwifi).

Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control
API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of
net/mac80211/.
There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking,
we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to
do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control
algorithm or via new API.
Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we
will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right
now I'm not expert enough to do it. It's still off better than before.

When we remove an interface, we can currently end up having
a pointer to it left in local->scan_sdata after it has been
set down, and then with a hardware scan the scan completion
can try to access it which is a bug. Alternatively, a scan
that started as a hardware scan may terminate as though it
was a software scan, if the timing is just right.
On SMP systems, software scan also has a similar problem,
just canceling the delayed work and setting a flag isn't
enough since it may be running concurrently; in this case
we would also never restore state of other interfaces.
This patch hopefully fixes the problems by always invoking
ieee80211_scan_completed or requiring it to be invoked by
the driver, I suspect the drivers that have ->hw_scan() are
buggy. The bug will not manifest itself unless you remove
the interface while hw-scanning which will also turn off
the hw, and then add a new interface which will be unusable
until you scan once.

This patch:
1. Moves addition of IBSS station from

eliminating bogus supported rates.
2. Initialize properly supported rates also in IBSS merging
3. Ensure that mandatory rates are always added into supported
rates. This is needed in case when station addition is triggered from
non beacon/probe packet. Some management frames need to be sent
4. Remove initialization of supported rates from self rates. This path

mac80211: eliminate IBSS warning in rate_lowest_index()
An IBSS station is added in prepare_for_handlers where the rate scaling was
initialized only with single rate matching the received packet.
The correct rate scale information should be updated only in

of coding error the rate info was left untouched.
If a beacon has triggered the connection the rate remined 1Mbps.
