Re: rt2500pci, infinite calls to rt2x00mc_configure_filter

Hi Ivo,

Thanks for helping debug this. I haven't had a chance to run hostapd
again, been far too busy. As it stands, I'm not sure when I can possibly
get to that.

The driver most definitely shouldn't do anything, but neither of those
flags should be needed. In a BSS, all frames from the stations are
addressed to the BSS-MAC, i.e. to the AP, so the regular MAC filter
should allow them through without any sort of promisc. And control
frames aren't needed, those are just ack/cts/... frames.
