OK! I have also determined that my IWL_INVALID_STATION change is
unnecessary, as injected packets do have a valid station ID (they are
marked as broadcast by iwl*9*5_get_sta_id). The IWL_INVALID_STATION
change was a hack I put in earlier, before finding the real problems
in iwl*9*5_get_sta_id and iwl*9*5_mac_tx.
