"""
Due to Wey-Yi's patch to use the set-channel command when the channel changes

gotten more likely mac80211 will first set up the BSS info, then add the

Therefore, the check for "priv->current_ht_config.is_ht" in
iwl_rxon_add_station() will hit false and not fill in the HT information.

However, that check can just be removed, which is the easiest fix for all this,
because the HT capa struct is always there, just could possibly have the
ht_supported member set to false.

During normal operation, sometime for unknown reason, radio encounter
problem and can not recover by itself; the best way to
recover from it is to reset and re-tune the radio. Currently, there is

switching channel, use internal hw scan request to force radio
reset and get back to normal operation state.

The internal hw scan will only perform passive scan on the first
available channel (not the channel being used) in associated state. The
request should be ignored if already performing scan operation or STA is

mac80211: re-enable re-transmission of filtered frames

    mac80211: disable software retry for now

    Pavel Roskin reported a problem that seems to be due to
    software retry of already transmitted frames. It turns
    out that we've never done that correctly, but due to
    some recent changes it now crashes in the TX code. I've
    added a comment in the patch that explains the problem
    better and also points to possible solutions -- which
    I can't implement right now.

I disabled software retry of failed/filtered frames
because it was broken. With the work of the previous
patches, it now becomes fairly easy to re-enable it
by adding a flag indicating that the frame shouldn't
be modified, but still running it through the transmit
handlers to populate the control information.

this whenever it would software-encrypt a frame.

later simply skip the encryption function since it
