Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: honor FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC in STA mode
We were setting RX_FILTER_BEACON even after entering STA mode,
which leads to a lot of unnecessary wakeups. This should fix the
bug "Ath5k driver has too many interrupts per second at idle" at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11749.
