Subject: [PATCH 1/3] d80211: Add control structure for beacontemplates

From: Ivo van Doorn <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 3 Feb 2007 17:25:18 +0100

When rt2500usb and rt73usb will start using beacontemplates,
they would also need a control structure to be passed along to
correctly set the tx parameters.

This patch will add the allocation an initialization of a
ieee80211_tx_control especially for the beacontemplate.

This does require drivers that have the BEACON_TEMPLATE flag
set to also free the control structure. (bcm43xx and p54 will be
fixed in the next 2 patches)
