wlan0 media setting resets after ifconfig wlan0 up

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi,

I've noticed this before. It seems the rate settings are reset
whenever the PHY mode is changed. This occurs at startup and during
things like bg/a -> n promotion.

It's worth (further) investigation but i personally don't have the time atm. :(
