[PATCH] softmac: report SIOCGIWAP event upon association

[PATCH] softmac: report SIOCGIWAP event upon association

[Daniel Drake]

wpa_supplicant requires some notification when association has completed, and
this is the way to do it.

Before this patch, wpa_supplicant just times out when trying to associate,
even though the association completed successfully in the background. This was
reported at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de/msg00959.html

After this patch, wpa_supplicant works for me. I have tested connecting to a
WEP network.

Check out the patches I posted earlier:
http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/patches/

Specifically, this one by Dan Williams:
http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/patches/softmac-events.patch

I think that's what you're doing here, but can't do an in-depth check at
the moment.
