okay - that explains why my wlan* device disappeared last night after upgrading to the latest wireless-testing :-). I knew breakage like that got to be big news in the wireless-testing mailing list, *if only and as soon as I can revert the change to get my wireless connectivity back*.
I better go and check Larry's patch and see how it turns out :-). Write again soon, after I have tested Larry's patch, hopefully.
