rtl8187: Change rate-control feedback
The driver for the RTL8187L chips returns IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK for all
packets, even if the maximum number of retries was exhausted. In addition
it fails to setup max_rates in the ieee80211_hw struct, This behavior
may be responsible for the problems noted in Bug 14168. As the bug is very
old, testers have not been found, and I do not have the case where the
indicated signal is less than -70 dBm.
