When I set up multiple VAPs with ath9k, I encountered an issue that
the traffic may be lost after a while.
The detailed phenomenon is
1. After a while the clients connected to one of these VAPs will get
into a state that no broadcast/multicast packets can be transfered
successfully while the unicast packets can be transfered normally.
2. Minutes latter the unitcast packets transfer will fail as well,
because the ARP entry is expired and it can't be freshed due to the
broadcast trouble.
It's caused by the group key overwritten and someone discussed this
issue in ath9k-devel maillist before, but haven't work out a fix yet.
I referred the method in madwifi, and made a patch for ath9k.
The method is to set the high bit of the sender(AP)'s address, and
associated that mac and the group key. It requires the hardware
supports multicast frame key search. It seems true for AR9160.
Not sure whether it's the correct way to fix this issue. But it seems
to work in my test. The patch is attached, feel free to revise it.

The sta_cleanup timer is used to periodically expire buffered frames from the
tx buf. The timer is executing periodically, regardless of the need for it.
This is wasting resources.
Fix this simply by not restarting the sta_cleanup timer if the tx buffer was
empty. Restart the timer when there is some more tx-traffic.

Even the initial single/dual stream values will be overridden later when
issue link quality command; but still make sense not to use hard-code
value during initialization. Single/Dual stream mask are used to indicate the
best antenna for SISO/MIMO; different NIC has different tx antenna
configuration; so the parameter need to based on the valid tx antenna.
1x2 device: single tx antenna available, only SISO is valid
configuration, but still need to set up MIMO configuration, so set it up
with antenna A & B as default.
2x2 device: two tx antenna available, dual_stream will use both valid
antenna.

choice the second and third antenna for dual_stream.

According to tests, both TSF lower and upper registers kept counting, so
the higher part could have been updated after the lower part has been
read, as shown in the following log where the upper part is read first
and the lower part next.
tsf = {00000003-fffffffd}
tsf = {00000003-00000001}
tsf = {00000004-0000000b}
This patch corrects this by checking that the upper part has not been
changed while the lower part was read. It has been tested in an IBSS
network where artifical IBSS merges have been done in order to trigger
hundreds of rollover for the TSF lower part.
It follows the logic mentionned by Derek, with only 2 register reads
needed at each additional steps instead of 3 (the minimum number of
register reads is still 3).
