These patches implement a feature essential for long distance wireless links: 
setting ACK timeout and slot time. The API is based on a parameter called 
Coverage Class specified by the 802.11 standard.

The first two patches add support to the kernel 802.11 stack via a new nl80211 
parameter and a mac80211 callback.

Following two patches implement the callback in ath5k driver. Implementation 
in ath9k driver is planned.

One additional patch outside the series adds the necessary userspace support 
to iw.
