If I understand correctly, the current implementation has problem, by
just calling iwl_activate_qos(), it did not have the AC setup correctly,
take a look at the iwl_reset_qos(), it is the only place initialize the
table, for STA mode, QoS is de-active by default. iwl_activate_qos()
only change the qos flag, but did not re-initialize the table to proper
value. 

Thanks
