Hmm. I can see that being a problem, we might get away with just removing the whole retry block. Ultimately though, I don't think it's a -stable issue. > Second problem address the auto scan function in > ieee80211_sta_config_auth().

I don't think this is correct, it will only work properly with wpa_supplicant I think.

No, you don't need to patch the kernel, you just need to use a git (?) version of wpa_supplicant. johannes
