libertas: fix association with some APs by using extended rates
Some APs get pissy if you don't send the firmware the extended rates in the association request's rates TLV. Found this on a Linksys WRT54G v2; it denies association with status code 18 unless you add the extended rates too. The old driver did this, but it got lost in the cfg80211 conversion.
