Increase the visibility of Odin SSID by sending beacons #17

The problem is that the beacons have to be sent with the real MAC of the AP, and if the STA answers, then you have to change the MAC by that of the LVAP.

The visibility of Odin can be increased by decreasing the inter-beacon time. We have tested with different values (5/10/100 ms etc.) and now different devices can be connected (Windows, Linux, Android). If the time between beacons is higher than 100ms, some devices will have problems to "see" the Odin SSID.

TL-WN722N supports values less than 100 ms of beacon interval, during the handoff process. The raspberry wlan adapter supports 500 ms or maybe more. However, the handoff time seems to be proportional to the beacon interval (more or less, three times that value). The minimum time for the TL-WN722N is ~100 ms, and for the raspi adapter ~30 ms.
