Mac80211 provides 2 structures to handle bitrates, namely
ieee80211_rate and ieee80211_tx_rate. To determine the short preamble
mode for an outgoing frame, the flag IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_SHORT_PREAMBLE
must be checked on ieee80211_tx_rate and not ieee80211_rate (which rt2x00 did).

This fixes a regression which was triggered in 2.6.29-rcX as reported by Chris Clayton.

I don't think the patch below will apply to 2.6.29-rc because it is
lagging behind wireless testing and, I would guess, is likely to stay
that way for 2.6.29 because the merge window is closed. Won't the
final patch that was provided to me at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=123229784930740&w=4 be the
correct one? If so, could John please add:

Chris

True. but usually John wants the patch to go through wireless-testing,
which makes below patch the correct one. :)
Anyway, in this case he has the luxoury of having both versions of the patch. ;)
