I guess the whole thing was just ignored - we should also *adopt* the
EDCA parameters when joining an IBSS network, which I don't think we do
either.
I'm not sure we can actually modify them on the fly though - since
adoption is required, such changes would have a hard time propagating
through.
If really necessary, we'd have to implement adoption and probably only
allow setting it at IBSS creation time.
