That's what happens, yes.

ieee80211_softmac.c is wrong then -- but it doesn't exist in upstream
kernels any more anyway so I'm not sure where you're seeing it? The
range is 1-2007, not 0x2007.

Alright. I'm pretty confident it'd fix it since this is where the AID
value is obtained from the AP and passed down to iwlwifi.
