Not sure what you mean by "vanilla"...that patch is in
wireless-2.6#everything as of last night.

There are not any new mac80211 patches in there yet -- does your fix
depend on a pending mac80211 patch?

FWIW, I don't see anything obvious in a quick code inspection.
I presume that Larry and Michael tested this on the previous iteration
of wireless-2.6 which was based on 2.6.24-rc3.  Any chance that
something in the rc3->rc5 difference accounts for this?
