I applied your patch. Here are the dmesg logs when logging to a WPA
network with authentification (dmesg-WPA.log, ssid southcentral) and a
network without authentification (dmesg-noWPA.log, ssid FreeWifi).

Let me know if you need anything else.

Good catch, I changed my access point to WPA2 and now I can connect to
it ! I attached the corresponding dmesg logs (dmesg-WPA2.log, ssid southcentral).
