Commit 4cf92a3c was submitted as a fix for bug #8686 at bugzilla.kernel.org (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8686). Unfortunately, the fix led to a new bug, reported by Yoshifuji Hideaki, that prevented association for WEP encrypted networks that use ifconfig to control the device. This patch effectively reverts the earlier commit and does a proper fix for bug #8686. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- John, This fix replaces my earlier request for reversion of commit 4cf92a3c. As stated above, it effectively does the reversion, but it also fixes the original bug.
