I would say it is rather feature then a fix. It just makes
ieee80211_hdrlen() to account new HT Control field in 802.11 header of
data frames introduced by IEEE 802.11n-2009 standard. That's it.

According to 802.11n-2009 standard HT Control field is present in data
frames when both following items are true:
1. It is QoS data frame.
2. Order bit is 1 in Frame Control field.
The change might be totally compatible with legacy non-11n aware frames,
because 802.11-2007 standard states that for all QoS frames (i.e.
non-11n frames) Order bit must be set to zero.

Sorry, just forgot to do this. Hope, next time it will be better. :)
Thanks a lot for attention!
