I have been using this patch on my Level 1 WNC-0301USB device. There 
are still problems with the TX code as it can associate only about 1 
try in 10, but RX seems to be fine. I have been too busy to sort out 
the problems, but I have fixed the patch to get rid of checkpatch 
warnings and errors, which includes the "Signed-off-by" lines.

Would you like me to send the updated version to you, or should I send 
it to linux-wireless and John?
