It's already there, in ath5k_hw_set_opmode.  We'll need to trace
what's going on and see why we don't get beacons.  Last night I had an
ath5k MP suddenly start beaconing but I haven't been able to reproduce
that yet.

Xiao -- to test beaconing, I set up a second network interface in
monitor mode and capture frames with wireshark, in my case that's on a
separate PC.
