Rate control algorithms are supposed to stop processing when they
encounter a rate with the index -1. Checking for rate->count not being
zero is not enough.
Allowing a rate with negative index leads to memory corruption in
ath_debug_stat_rc().
One consequence of the bug is discussed at

Driver maintains different flags for WEP, WPA, WPA2 security modes.
Appropriate flag is set using security information provided in
connect request. mwifiex_is_network_compatible() routine uses them
to check if driver's setting is compatible with AP. Association is
aborted if the routine fails.
For some corner cases, it is observed that association is failed
even for valid security information based on association history.
This patch fixes the problem by clearing previous security setting
during each association.
We should set WEP key provided in connect request as default tx key.
This missing change is also added here.

The comment states that the field is only used for rt61pci and rt73usb.
However, it is now used by rt2800pci and rt2800usb as well, so the
comment is not correct anymore.

We are getting more and more fields in struct rt2x00_dev that are
specific to one or two of the low-level drivers. Instead of putting
these fields inside the main structure and thus clobbering all low-level
drivers with these fields, introduce the concept of driver data inside
struct rt2x00_dev, whose size is indicated by the low-level driver and
which can be populated by the low-level driver.

Some devices (iwl5100) cannot connect to zd1211rw based AP. It appears that
zd1211 firmware messes up duration_id field if it is not set to zero by driver.
Sniffing traffic shows that zd1211 is transmitting frames with duration_id bits
14 and 15 set and other bits appearing random. Setting duration_id at driver to
zero results zd1211 outputting sane duration_id. This means that firmware is
setting correct values itself and expects duration_id to be zero in first
place.
Looking at vendor driver shows that only PSPoll frames have duration_id set by
driver, for other frames duration_id left zero.

Earlier we were using dtim period extracted from scan response
buffer provided by FW in scan operation. But it is observed that
sometimes the buffer doesn't contain dtim period tlv, and wrong
value (0) was sent to user space.
After association FW will start listening to beacon frames of
connected AP and store dtim period. Therefore we can get it from
FW in dump_station() instead of using wrong value obtained in
scanning.
Redundant code after adapting new approach for dtim period is
also removed in this patch.

Memory allocated by ieee80211_alloc_hw() will get orphaned
if any subsequent initializations fail.
Also don't pci_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL) until just before disabling
the PCI device. Functions called by rtl_deinit_core(hw) may eventually need
the context (when its actually implemented).
