    IEEE 802.11: Handle Atheros padding
    
    For some unknown reason between 802.11 protocol fields end and LLC
    protocol field start two octets of padding may appear. These octets
    (value 0x00) were observed on the OLPC laptop, heuristically detected
    and marked as OLPC mysterious stuff.
    
    It seems that Atheros chipset drivers also show this behaviour,
    although the padding is not 0x0000, but seem to be a duplicate of the
    sequence control field. This is now also heuristically detected and
    marked more generically as payload padding.
