AP mode operations are seriously affected if mac80211 runs through a
multi-second scan while the AP is trying to send Beacon frames on the
operation channel. While this could be implemented in a way that does
not cause too many problems, it is not very simple and will require
synchronization with Beacon frame scheduling in the drivers (scan one
channel at a time between Beacon frames). Furthermore, such scanning
takes quite a bit longer time and existing userspace applications
would be likely to timeout while waiting for the results.
For now, just refuse requests for new scans (SIOCSIWSCAN) when in AP
mode. In practice, this moves the rejection from iwl* drivers into
mac80211 to make it apply to every mac80211-based driver.
This issue shows up in associated stations getting disconnected when
something (e.g., Network Manager) requests a scan while the interface
is in AP mode. When doing this continuously (e.g., NM does it every 120
seconds), the network gets close to useless.

This patch fixes sporadic firmware restarts when scanning while associated.
The firmware will quietly cancel a scan (while associated) if the dwell time
for a channel to be scanned is larger than the time it may stay away from the
operating channel (because of DTIM catching). Unfortunately the driver is not
notified about the canceled scan and therefore the scan watchdog timeout will
be hit and the driver causes a firmware restart which results in
disassociation. This mainly happens on passive channels which use a dwell time
of 120 whereas a typical beacon interval is around 100.
The patch changes the dwell time for passive channels to be slightly smaller
than the actual beacon interval to work around the firmware issue. Furthermore
the number of allowed beacon misses is increased from one to three as otherwise
most scans (while associated) won't complete successfully.
However scanning while associated will still fail in corner cases such as a
beacon intervals below 30.

When SLUB debugging is enabled in the kernel, and the boot command includes
the option "slub_debug=P", rtl8187 encounters a GPF due to a read-after-free
of a urb.
Following the example of changes in p54usb to fix the same problem, the code
has been modified to use the usb_anchor_urb() method. With this change, the
USB core handles the freeing of urb's.
This patch fixes the problem reported in Kernel Bugzilla #12185
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12185).

Alan Stern found several flaws in p54usb's implementation and annotated:
"usb_kill_urb() and similar routines do not expect an URB's completion

to detect when the URB actually is complete."

ath_tx_complete_buf uses a BH version of spinlock and so releasing
the lock enables BH which is incorrect when called from sta_notify
callback as MAC80211 disables hardirqs before the driver callback
is called.
As ath_tx_complete_buf is shared between user and softirq context
using normal spinlock may not be appropriate. Though the proper
fix would be to cleanup the context properly in the driver code,
this would be an interim fix to avoid kernel warning.

It looks like there are some issues in the current ath9k version as
far as staggered Beacon frame scheduling is concerned. This results in
Beacon frame timestamp being off by 25 milliseconds or so which can
cause issues with multicast power save buffering in AP mode. Some
client stations fail to receive multicast frames when there is this
large an offset between TBTT and actual Beacon transmission time.
Since ath9k does not yet support multiple BSSes anyway, the staggered
Beacon frame scheduling is just increasing the number of interrupts at
this point. The easiest fix for the timestamp offset is to disable
staggered Beacon frames for now. We need to redesign beacon.c anyway
when adding multi-BSS support with mac80211 since the existing code
depends on different mechanism for Beacon frame transmission.

rate the number of try and next rate. The problem mac80211 reports
same mode for both B and G mode as IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ which will cause
using invalid rate other than CCK in B only network. THis patch
on association will examine sta valid rate on association, if no
OFDM rate in valid available rates it considers it as B only mode so
we can set REPLY_RATE_SCALE command with valid B only network and only
