Testers/feedback welcome!

Code is pretty stable although there are still a few open issues. Nothing 
major I should be able to figure them out.

* I did only tests with a 5100 card, other might not yet work.. I will do 
tests wie 5300 and 4965 cards later this week.
* 11N has not been tested at all.
* Deauth/disconnect frames are not handled correctly, those yield firmware 
errors. The remote side might therefore not be able to clean up correctly, 
whichs lead to no answers to probe requests on new scans.
* Encryption of any kind does not yet work.
* Monitor mode/radiotap does not yet work.
* IBSS mode has not been tested.
* iwnfw module is locked somehow on kldunload.
* RF kill switch might not work correctly.
* Manpage needs an update. :)
* Suspend/resume is broken.
