zd1211rw: firmware needs duration_id set to zero for non-pspoll frames
Some devices (iwl5100) cannot connect to zd1211rw based AP. It appears that
zd1211 firmware messes up duration_id field if it is not set to zero by driver.
Sniffing traffic shows that zd1211 is transmitting frames with duration_id bits
14 and 15 set and other bits appearing random. Setting duration_id at driver to
zero results zd1211 outputting sane duration_id. This means that firmware is
setting correct values itself and expects duration_id to be zero in first
place.
Looking at vendor driver shows that only PSPoll frames have duration_id set by
driver, for other frames duration_id left zero.
