This is broken, rtw_reset_securitypriv23a() takes different actions
based on the value of adapter->securitypriv.dot11AuthAlgrthm - you leave
it at it's old value, which does not have the same effect as the above.

If anything you should remove the memset() and call
rtw_reset_securitypriv23a() after the two assignments.

NACK
