BTW perhaps we should still look at the filter for ath5k since, once
associated, we still get beacons from every AP in the world instead of
just those with our BSSID.
FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC
This flag is set during scanning to indicate to the hardware
that it should not filter beacons or probe responses by BSSID.
Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so
you should honour this flag if possible.
Right now with ath5k there's basically no difference between having or
not having that flag in station mode, even though we do set the bssid
in ath5k_hw_set_associd AFAICT.
