Let's see what Johannes is going to say about this change in mac80211,
but IIRC this timeout used to exist with WEXT, but it was not
implemented in nl80211. We (at Nokia, probably Juuso) tried to
implement it a long time ago, but after some discussions with Johannes,
it was decided that this value wouldn't be settable from userspace at
least. I don't know if it was considered setting it from the driver
side, though.
