[BUG] latest wireless-testing (compat-wireless) doesn't work with iwl3945

[Maxim Levitsky]

I currently use 2.6.28, and don't yet want to switch to 2.6.29-rc, so I
installed vanilla 2.6.28, and compat-wireless of today on top of it
only options I changed, were I enabled rfkill in iwl3945 and crda, which
I did install.

device doesn't associate with my AP (even in open mode)

nothing suspicions in logs, just says it did associate and then it
dropped.

btw, in last versions of iwwifi.git I noticed that hardware encryption
doesn't work anymore, so I enabled swcrypto, now nether it works

Best regards,

As you have seen, the commit with the bug that prevents a connection has been found.

The funny printing of MAC addresses is due to the newer code using the %pM formatting that
is not present in older kernels. You can ignore that.

I noticed another wierd bug, somehow iwl3945 manages now to break
suspend to disk (hands on suspend) but not suspend to ram.

Also, if I suspend via pm-hibernate on console, it works, but doesn't
work when I use ubuntu's menu.

System hangs on suspend to disk, I still can switch consoles, but can't
type anything there. will need to use ssh I guess.

Probably related to my mac80211 changes :(  Can you boot with
no_console_suspend=1?

What about direct "echo -n disk > /sys/power/state" ?  I'm not sure what
ubuntu does in the menu, but usually pm-hibernate shuts down interfaces.

Actually... I have a pretty good idea why this happens and a nice one
liner fix.  Can you try changing "create_freezeable_workqueue" in
net/mac80211/main.c (there's only one) to "create_singlethread_workqueue"?
