The assumption is that during the hw config, transmission was
already stopped by mac80211. Sometimes the AP can be switching
b/w the ht modes due to intolerant or etc where STA is in
the middle of transmission. In such scenario, buffer overflow
was observed at driver side. And also before updating the rate
control, the frames are continued to xmited with older rates.
This patch ensures that the frames are always xmitted with
updated rates and avoid buffer overflow.

John, please revert this one, it's completely messed up. It stops queues, and calls drv_flush whenever it receives a beacon with 802.11n information, even if 802.11n is already enabled and the mode is the correct one. Additionally, it even wakes the queues again before the settings have been applied, so it's 100% useless.
