ath5k: Check and fix ATIM window
This patch adds sanity-checks for the beacon timers and especially the ATIM
window to ath5k. It is basically the same what i did for madwifi two years ago
and fixes a problem in IBSS mode which has been described as "ramping" pings.
See the code comments for a more detailed description and these links:
