Thanks for working on this Bernhard!

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble achieving HT rates.

After 'wlandebug 0xffffffff', lots of:
...
May  1 14:38:15 x300 kernel: wlan0: received beacon from
00:1d:0f:d3:fb:cc rssi 47
May  1 14:38:15 x300 kernel: wlan0: [00:1d:0f:d3:fb:cc] discard beacon
frame, ie too short, got 26, expected 30
...

I've attached relevant debugging information, but let me know if there
may be anything else that could help. I need to work on DTracing
net80211, any tips on relevant function traces?
