The regression here is that I added a printk() to inform about beacon
loss. The issue has been there a long time, the printk() just exposed
it.

Michael wrote a patch which silences the printk:

I fixed the beacon loss detection here:

John, I think Michael's patch should be sent to 2.6.30. Any chances
for that?

Rafael, is it possible to send your regression mails to
linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as well? Very few wireless developers
have time to follow netdev or lkml.
