ath9k: add a workaround for ack timeout issuesmaster-2010-02-12
Adding support for setting the coverage class in some cases broke association and data transfer, as it overwrote the initial ACK timeout value from the initvals with a smaller value. I don't know why the new value works in 5 GHz (matches the initval there), but not in 2.4 GHz (initvals use 64us here), so until the problem is fully understood, the value should be increased again.
