Here's a start, but I still need to find and fix another issue.

Ath5k seems to have had an implicit assumption that config() would
be called before beacon setup and the opmode would get set in HW then.
Not sure if the order changed when beacon stuff was moved to bss_conf,
but it's fragile anyway so I think we should configure the mode up
front so that the timers actually work.  Also we need to process all
of the TX queue's status descriptors.
