sn->num_rates is 0 and so is sn->static_rate_ndx (this is where the
value of ndx came from).

The sn structure is allocated and set to zero when the laptop comes back
into range, but I think that a data packet is getting transfered through
the link before ath_rate_ctl_reset() gets called. ath_rate_ctl_reset()
initializes the fiels in sn (it would setup sn->num_rates to a real value).
