Thank you for testing!

iwi(4)/ipw(4) code assumes that if ieee80211_newstate() (e.g.
iwi_softc.sc_newstate()) is not called with certain IEEE80211_S_, then
mgtq will not be touched, while 802_11 layer does not know that these
two drivers have such an assumption.  This kind of things probably
will bite us in the future ;]
