Subject: [PATCH 6/7] ath5k: Implement antenna control

* Add code to support the various antenna scenarios supported by hw

* For now hardcode the default scenario (single or dual omnis with
tx/rx diversity working and tx antenna handled by session -hw keeps
track on which antenna it got ack from each ap/station and maps each
ap/station to one of the antennas-).

We should add or update an existing nl80211 call, to allow set the used=
antenna (multiple antennas in Draft-N?) manually, like madwifi does. T=
his is e.g. needed for long distance links.

Well it's more complicated than that, we can only set tx antenna when
using a sectored ap/sta scenario (else it's possible to miss rts and
self generated frames), and we can only set default antenna on
scenarios that don't update the default antenna dynamicaly. Here is a
more detailed explanation of antenna scenarios...

I agree that one should be able to set rx/tx antenna from nl80211
(after all mac80211 has tx antenna information) but we also need a way
to handle antenna scenarios. Setting antennas without setting the
proper antenna scenarios will break things (as it did for mesh on the
above mail).
