[wt PATCH 4/5] libertas: fix association with some APs by using extended rates

[Dan Williams <dcbw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Some APs get pissy if you don't send the firmware the extended rates
in the association request's rates TLV.  Found this on a Linksys
WRT54G v2; it denies association with status code 18 unless you
add the extended rates too.  The old driver did this, but it got
lost in the cfg80211 conversion.
