+ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess nulls rxs and the mactime is never set again -
+mactime is always 0. This causes problems in IBSS mode.
+
+ieee80211_rx_bss_info uses mactime to decide if an IBSS merge is needed.
+Without this patch the merge is triggered by each beacon received.
+
+This can be recognized by the "beacon TSF higher than local TSF - IBSS
+merge with BSSID" log message accompanying each beacon.
+
+This problem was not completely fixed in commit
+a6d2055b02dde1067075795274672720baadd3ca and is not a stable kernel fix.
+It is solely intended for wireless-testing.
