MADWIFI TSFT field does not increase lineary

Description

Hello,

we are working on tof measurements and trilateration of WLAN devices.

Using the latest SVN version of madwifi, we observed that the timestamp field of packets received with a "05:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)" in monitoring mode do jump by very large values every second or so.

Somewhat with the extension of the TSF field from 15bit to more 64 bits is going wrong.
