Subject: rt2500pci master mode and hostapd

Hi! I build a wireless access point using a-link wl54pc (pcmcia card,
rt2500pci module) and hostapd 0.6.9 with kernel version 2.6.32-rc5.
Problem is that even tho hostapd starts and iwconfig shows wlan0 in
master mode, other computers cant find the wireless network.
I found a working patch from here:
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=32632#p32632 and
all works now with it applied to vanilla kernel. Just wanted to post
this to the mailing list and ask why it's not added to mainline rt2x00
kernel tree yet? Patch on forum is from May, almost half year ago.
Hopefully it'll be included to mainline kernel asap.
