But nothing changes for it -- look at the patch again, I translate
P2P_GO to AP and P2P_CLIENT to STATION precisely to require fewer
changes in drivers unless they actually want to care. The only ath9k
change that is required is the one I posted (and you'll be back to the
same non-functioning state, but that's another matter).
