Well forget OpenWRT. The point is that this is not a hack - it's the
behavior that mac80211 expects and documents and moreover it does NOT
pass more data frames than before.

It does not pass more data frames before association because the RCR
RCR_ACCEPT_AP bit is not set and the RCR_CHECK_BSSID_* bits are set.
