AR5416 beacon issue.

[Kang Yin Su]

Hi all,

OK, this patch fix the beacons sequence number from AR5416 chips. With this
code added, both beacons send from AR5212 and AR5416 chips are fine, the
sequence numbers are increase by 1. I have no idea why the AR5212 chips do
not this require this. The AR5212 hardware probably ignore this field and
added the seq no. by itself?

Thanks,
Yin
