It never quite got over the finish line.  This is partly my fault as I'd
been cleaning up some of the patches.  There's an SVN repository at:

http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/airo-wpa/branches/kernel/

and Fabrice had some patches on top of the SVN stuff that made it work
better.  Many of Fabrice's patches would need to be applied before it
could be upstreamed.

However, the hardware I had was never able to survive a TKIP rekey
without just going into a coma (reliable with WEP though).  It just
wasn't reliable enough to turn on or push upstream yet.  The effort sort
of died after that; I was going to try to capture the frames around the
time of the TKIP rekey to see what might be the issue but hadn't gotten
around to it.
