Subject: Rate control in adhoc mode under ath5k

I'm trying to get the PID rate control to work in adhoc mode. The hw
address given to both rate_control_pid_tx_status and
rate_control_pid_get_rate are both FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, and so the
sta_info_get calls constantly fail. I've been able to trace the sk_buf
back to ath5k_tx_processq in drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c but
can't find anywhere that the address data is/isn't being set. Is this
normal behavior for adhoc mode? Adhoc mode is essentially
non-functional under auto rate selection. Forcing bitrates works.
