Beaconing seems broken by Update PCU code 
dd1c9abd167de9bb9457a57694a1ab5e5801a0c1. After this patch, beacon debug 
says beacons sent, but sniffer sees none.

A snapshot of ath5k prior to this and git 12/10 
(b6d06c9669f27db31a0317fc98fedc8ff1ba4822) works for me with 
hostapd/wpa. It's been running for the past few days.

Mesh beaconing also works. I didn't test two nodes; I only sniffed the 
beacons.

I had to comment out 5GHz in caps.c because of too many channels. It's a 
nl80211 buffer size problem that's been discussed.
