ath9k_hw: avoid setting cwmin/cwmax to 0 for IBSS for AR9003
IBSS requires the cwmin and cwmax to be respected when we reset the txqueues on AR9003 otherwise the distribution of beacons will be balanced towards the AR9003 card first preventing equal contention for air time for other peers on the IBSS. Without this IBSS will work but only the AR9003 card will be be issuing beacons on the IBSS. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
