In the mainline kernel, p54usb will fail because the TX queue length can
become < 0. This problem has been reported as Bugzilla #13725. The failure
is expressed by the following message in the logs:
WARNING: at net/mac80211/tx.c:1325 ieee80211_tx+0x23c/0x298 [mac80211]()
Hardware name: HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook PC
tx refused but queue active
This problem has been recently observed in the wireless-testing tree, where
a full solution is being tested. That fix is too invasive for 2.6.31-rcX,
but the simple change supplied here will prevent the failure.

Currently queues are stopped when their length reaches their length limit,
but are restarted only when the size of freed range of packet buffer is
not less than the size of the largest possible packet.
This causes permanent queue stop on radio visibility loss in the middle
of ping series: there is plenty of room in the packet buffer, but it is
never freed more than 3 (size of 'best effort' queue) * 288 (ping packet
plus headers) bytes at once.

The config_interface method is a little strange, it contains the
BSSID and beacon updates, while bss_info_changed contains most
other BSS information for each interface. This patch removes
config_interface and rolls all the information it previously
passed to drivers into bss_info_changed.

This patch hopefully finishes the SoftLED code:
- It adds two more LEDs (rx and radio).
(the FW claims it can support up to 16 LEDs,
but I doubt that any vendor put more than 4 on a board)
- update the LEDs in a _delayed_ workqueue.
No one reported any more crashes.
