Stefano Brivio 9eca9a8e81 b43legacy: drop packets we are not able to encrypt
We must drop any packets we are not able to encrypt.
We must not send them unencrypted or with an all-zero-key (which
basically is the same as unencrypted, from a security point of view).

This might only trigger shortly after resume before mac80211 reassociated
and reconfigured the keys.

It is safe to drop these packets, as the association they belong to
is not guaranteed anymore anyway.
This is a security fix in the sense that it prevents information leakage.

This patch by Michael Buesch has been ported to b43legacy.

Johannes Berg 32bfd35d4b mac80211: dont use interface indices in drivers
This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of
a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This
structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and
contains a variable length driver-use data area.

This has two advantages:
 * removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better
   for working with network namespaces and performance
 * allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without
   having to allocate own lists/hash tables

Johannes Berg 03bffc1341 wireless: make drivers include the TSF RX flag where appropriate
These drivers pass full mactime information to the stack, make them
indicate this via the new RX_FLAG_TSFT to get mac80211 to show this
information in monitor mode.
