Calling stop_queues() from outside of the TX handler may deadlock.
That is a bug in mac80211. I don't think it has been fixed, yet.

I think we should have a API call to mac80211 that suspends the stack
(saves the state etc..) and a call the resumes (reassociates, re-handshakes...).
But that's probably not that easy to implement, as parts of this
does happen in userspace.
