David Woodhouse 2638fed7cc [PATCH] softmac: reduce default rate to 11Mbps.
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.

David Woodhouse 16f4352733 [PATCH] softmac: reduce scan dwell time
It currently takes something like 8 seconds to do a scan, because we
spend half a second on each channel. Reduce that time to 20ms per
channel.

David Woodhouse 4edac92fcf [PATCH] Restore channel setting after scan.
After a scan, we weren't switching back to the original channel if we
were associated with an AP. So NetworkManager's periodic scans would
disrupt connectivity until the ESSID was manually set again. Fix that.

Larry Finger fe0b06b123 [PATCH] Fix softmac scan
Softmac scanning fails because the stop flag is not cleared before
scanning is started. The attached one-line patch fixes this.

Johannes Berg b10c991fa4 [PATCH] softmac: update deauth handler to quiet warning
Recently the deauth packet handler was updated to use a deauth packet
struct (identical to the auth packet struct) and this now gives a
warning. This patch updates the code to properly use a deauth struct and
deauth variable.
