6b4e324164 mac80211: adding 802.11n definitions in ieee80211.h
This patch adds several structs and definitions to ieee80211.h
to support 802.11n draft specifications.
As 802.11n depends on and extends the 802.11e standard in several issues,
there are also several definitions that belong to 802.11e.

c237899d1f ieee80211: Add IEEE80211_MAX_FRAME_LEN to linux/ieee80211.h
This patch adds IEEE80211_MAX_FRAME_LEN which is useful for drivers trying
to determine how much to allocate for their RX buffers.

It also updates the comment on IEEE80211_MAX_DATA_LEN based on revisions
in 802.11e.

IEEE80211_MAX_FRAG_THRESHOLD and IEEE80211_MAX_RTS_THRESHOLD are also
revised due to the new maximum frame size.

5628221caf [PATCH] mac80211: ERP IE handling improvements
The "protection needed" flag is currently parsed out of the ERP IE in
beacons. This patch allows the ERP IE to be available at assocation time
and causes the appropriate actions to be performed earlier.

It is slightly complicated by the fact that most APs don't include the
ERP IE in association responses. To work around this, we store ERP
values in the ieee80211_sta_bss structure.

Also added some WLAN_ERP defines for use by upcoming patches.
