There is a hostap/prism2 sub-ioctl to enable userspace mlme mode, which should 
fix that issue. Look around in ieee80211_ioctl.c for 
PRISM2_IOCTL_PRISM2_PARAM, ieee80211_ioctl_prism2_param, and 
PRISM2_PARAM_USER_SPACE_MLME for hints. These sub-ioctls are, of course, 
quite evil and need to be replaced, but it's a little better than hacking 
mac80211 to start with user_space_mlme enabled by default.
