This should help people running 11g ap's with mixed b/g stations. Two 
things to note:

1. The case where the size of the TIM ie changes is reviewed but 
untested.  If you have stations operating in sleep mode beware.
2. This doesn't handle overlapping bss; to do that we need to listen for 
beacon frames or similar and enable protection when 11b stations are 
identified--not a big deal and something I'll bring in later.
