[PATCH] Interoperate with Airport Extreme

[Michael Shields]

Currently, Host AP will report "SUPP_RATES len error" if the client
claims support for more than eight rates.  The Airport Extreme is one
of those clients, and probably so is any 802.11g card.  This patch
corrects the problem and allows the Mac to work.
