This parameter no longer exists for mac80211. A similar parameter
now exists for cfg80211, but the format is different.
The mac80211 module isn't loading due to the unknown parameter.

Since mac80211 didn't load, zd1211rw won't load.
Remove that mac80211 option from modprobe.conf (and possibly add the
equivalent parameter to cfg80211), the modprobe zd1211rw again.
