Current code for the RTL8187 is not returning valid retry information, thus the
rate-setting mechanism is not functioning. As a further complication, this info
is only obtained by reading a register, which cannot be read while in interrupt
context.
This patch implements the TX status return to mac80211 through the use of a
work queue.
One additional problem is that the driver currently enables the rate fallback
mechanism of the device, which conflicts with the mac80211 rate-setting
algorithm. This version of the patch disables rate fallback.
