May be. Checking now.

Definitely. Even with the failing chunks, and I copied back the old
wext.c from 2.6.28-rc3, and now my wireless is associating to the
hidden AP on 2.6.29-rc8. I tried just a few times, and it's ok so far.
I'll have to pit against the WAG200G that seems to have a worse
behavior tomorrow. ... anyway, this is all good. With the patch, it's
_impossible_ to "auto" associate to the AP. Definitely on the right
track!

Thanks,
Jeff.
