well ... this is not a regression actually as the bug is triggered by
new code that was added in 2.6.28. Still it is valid bug fix for new code
in 2.6.28 and IMHO quite appropriate. We better add it earlier so it
gets more testing.

Personally I think that two other patches should go in as well. They have
low regression potential (they apply to new code only; existing functionality
is not touched); and they make downloadable FW (and hence WPA) more
usable.
