Some drivers (e.g. ath9k) assume that it's safe to go into low-power mode
immediately after the idle state changes. To support that, mac80211 even
calls drv_flush() before that happens.
In some instances, mac80211 sent a packet right after recalculating the
idle state, this patch fixes that.

Finding the group index for a specific rate is done by looping through
all groups and returning if the correct one is found. This code is
called for each tx'ed frame and thus it makes sense to reduce its
runtime.
Do this by calculating the group index by this formula based on the SGI
and HT40 flags as well as the stream number:
idx = (HT40 * 2 * MINSTREL_MAX_STREAMS) +
(SGI * MINSTREL_MAX_STREAMS) +
(streams - 1)
Hence, the groups are ordered by th HT40 flag first, then by the SGI
flag and afterwards by the number of used streams.
This should reduce the runtime of minstrel_ht_get_group_idx
considerable.

The shared key authentication frame that needs to be
encrypted (the third one in the shared key handshake)
is directly encrypted in ieee80211_send_auth and the
IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT is set. All others
are not encrypted, so the only way to get to this is
erroneously on no-monitor AP side.
Remove the special case for authentication frames to
fix the AP shared key side when operating without
cooked monitor interfaces -- with cooked monitor the
IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT also gets set, so we
never get here -- an AP never encrypts auth frames.
Without this patch, an AP operating in WEP mode with
my no-monitor patches would erroneously encrypt all
authentication frames, instead of none.

The 802.11s protocol has a provision to limit the rate of path requests
(PREQs) are transmitted (dot11MeshHWMPpreqMinInterval) but there was no
limit on the rate at which PREQs were being queued up. There is a valid
reason for queuing PREQs: this way we can even out PREQ bursts. But
