Well, there are two ways to fix that: short way; and proper ;)

- short one: add some way to pass radiotap flags, so build in rate 
controller can make proper decision.
- nuke rate controller from firmware and make use of ath9k code as match 
as possible.

Here is why. Basically ath9k_htc is just embedded cpu with pcie 
interface and attached ath9k adapter to it. This construction reduce usb 
traffic. All beacons and retries handled by firmware on embedded cpu. 
This was advantage.
Disadvantage - we have lots of out of sync duplicated code. If we will 
just remove everything from firmware, then we will get simple 
usp-to-pcie converter and all functionality which is available in ath9k 
driver, but we will lost performance. May be there is a way to make sort 
of usp-to-pcie-proxy.
