+Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ath5k: zero-out rx_status
+
+In commit 'mac80211: support radiotap vendor namespace RX data'
+new fields were added to 'struct ieee80211_rx_status'.
+The ath5k driver does not initializes those fields and
+this can cause unexpected behaviour. The patch ensures
+that each field gets initialized with zeroes.
