I assume that mac80211 will always provide a beacon to the driver when needed?
I mean during config_interface a beacon is supplied for master interfaces and this
will kick the beacon handler for rt2x00. (which also assures ieee80211_beacon_get() 
will be called when the beacon has been send).
But for adhoc this will still be properly supplied through rt2x00pci_beacon_update() ?
