Hi,

thank you for the patches, the issue seems to be gone now, cool :-)

I don't know if it's standard or expected behavior, but it takes about 30
seconds to connect to my WPA/TKIP AP (Asus WL500g):

	root at ts72xx:~# time ifup wlan0 && time ping -c1 www.kernel.org
	WPA: Configuring Interface

This is from the dmesg:

This is not related to the previous issue or the fix, I think, that it took a
lot more without the firmware patch before. Thanks for any pointers.
