bugfix: wireless bug causing working setups to loose net connectivity

[Arkadiusz Miskiewicz]

Could 
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=125323296617306&w=2
be merged without waiting for separate wireless pull request?

Currently previously working setups are no longer able to connect to AP (in my 
case WPA2PSK via wpasupplicant).

AFAIK there was some kind of policy where bugfixes that break basic 
functionality are supposed to be merged fast to allow to actually use and test 
git kernel.

Thanks,

For me it was

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=bbac31f4c0339f6c51afbd0edfb4959df9b53fa9

Maybe you can try to revert this patch in your setup too, to check whether it
also solves your issue.

Oliver

I'll make sure to include this in the next pull request, probably
tomorrow.  Sorry, I'm too tired tonight.  FWIW, I'm traveling ATM...

Hth!
