hostap mode requires a lot more work, specifically handling "filtered
frames" from the hardware.
If I don't do that, any time a station goes into PS mode, any frames
already queued to the hardware will be dropped and performance will
greatly suffer.

As for the BAW tracking, there are also some bugs that have popped up
in my testing.
I'm using an AR9280 in my EEEPC as the STA and an AR9160 on a MIPS
routerstation pro board as the hostap.
I'll let you know when I've found/fixed those.

There are other things I likely need to merge in now that the hardware
is pushing ~ 18,000 pps.
There's some workarounds for buffer management and some occasional
status descriptor corruption
which I'm going to need to sort out.

I still haven't merged in the AR5416 workarounds yet though. I'll post
when I have.
