[PATCH] mac80211: ensure association req uses configured ratemask.

[PATCH] mac80211: ensure association req uses configured ratemask.

[greearb]

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

When sending the association request, pay attention to the
legacy rates configured by the user, and do not advertise support
for any that are not configured.

This makes the assoc request packet look more correct when
making modern hardware act like a /b mode station, for instance.

This logic is buggy in at least two ways...I'll re-post after I
get this working better.

Thanks,
Ben
