[PATCH]: use of IEEE80211_IOCTL_FILTERFRAME

[Ted Merrill]

According to Atheros engineers, the IEEE80211_IOCTL_FILTERFRAME
ioctl (for madwifi) must be always be passed out of line (see patch).
Although this is not yet used by hostapd, it will (hopefully) be soon
as WPS supported is added.

Thanks,
