#708: Frames routing mechanism does not allow to switch easy from one VAP to
another for some devices

The code in the ath_rx_tasklet() function (if_ath.c:5550) contains a code
that routes the incoming frame to one of the VAP (or spams all VAPs). If
the device is already connected (let's say, to the ath0), then all
messages that come from this device are routed to the ath0 VAP only.
So if this device sends "PROBE REQ" then only one VAP answers. This makes
some Pocket PC's unhappy since they think that other VAP is unavailable.
The same with other frames (like auth), I suppose.
