So let's try to fix it instead of disabling.

First, the unrealiability (keeping HW encryption disabled). With the driver 
loaded but not doing anything more, the register dumps are same for both 
working and non-working case (dump-init.txt).

dump-good-connected.txt is a dump after successful association and DHCP
dump-bad-attempt.txt is a dump after successful association during non-working 
DHCP attempt
dump-bad-after.txt is a dump after DHCP timed out

Here are the differences:

--- dump-good-connected.txt	2010-03-23 10:21:02.000000000 +0100
+++ dump-bad-attempt.txt	2010-03-23 10:21:39.000000000 +0100
