Thanks! That saved lots of work.

Well, I don't like it either and it is next on my list for 802.11w
work.. I just needed to get mac80211 into a state where 802.11w works
and I do not need to reboot every time when I re-load mac80211 ;-).
Anyway, this reordering of the calls is correct even if the key was not
set for the monitor netdev; I just don't know whether there is any other
way to trigger this particular issue.
