The reason this hunk exists is really for just adhoc.  Same for the
frequency set to 0, I think.  If you want to move both of them into 			
if (orig_mode == IW_MODE_ADHOC)

block just above, that would be fine.  I initially observed with prism54
cards that adhoc mode pretty much didn't work at all unless the mode was
infrastructure and the bitrate was unlocked.  Unfortunately, the bitrate
had to be locked during normal adhoc operation, otherwise you never got
any traffic.  Now that our custom adhoc setup code is gone, I think we
can remove that bitrate unlock line.

Note that NM only supports two modes right now, INFRA and ADHOC.  The
other mode is MASTER, and of course we don't do that yet.
