Too frequently people do not have module autoloading enabled
or fail to install the rate control module correctly, hence
their hardware probing fails due to no rate control algorithm
being available. This makes the 'simple' algorithm built into
the mac80211 module unless EMBEDDED is enabled in which case
it can be disabled (eg. if the wanted driver requires another
rate control algorithm.)

The ioctls
* PRISM2_PARAM_STA_ANTENNA_SEL
* PRISM2_PARAM_TX_POWER_REDUCTION
* PRISM2_PARAM_DEFAULT_WEP_ONLY
are not used by hostapd or wpa_supplicant.

When mac80211 is built into the kernel it needs to init earlier
so that device registrations are run after it has initialised.
The same applies to rate control algorithms.

These aren't used anywhere (hostapd, wpa_supplicant) and until we
have a proper interface to the rate control algorithms they don't
make much sense either since e.g. rc80211_lowest won't honour them.

The initial rate for STA's using rc80211_simple is set to the last
rate in the rate table. For situations for which the signal is weak,
the rate may be too high for authentication and association. Although
the rc80211_simple module will adjust the speed, the response may not
be fast enough for a successful connection. This modification sets the
initial rate to the lowest supported value.
