But I could try the patch, in case I've been fooled. > http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/patches/kernel/all/2009-09-24-17%3a32/010-cfg80211-fix-wpas-open.patch However, all the trees I'm working with (Linus latest, or the bisect result, or a week old mmotm) have cfg80211_mgd_wext_connect saying: if (!netif_running(wdev->netdev)) return 0; wdev->wext.connect.ie = wdev->wext.ie; wdev->wext.connect.ie_len = wdev->wext.ie_len; wdev->wext.connect.privacy = wdev->wext.default_key != -1; if (wdev->wext.keys) { wdev->wext.keys->def = wdev->wext.default_key; wdev->wext.keys->defmgmt = wdev->wext.default_mgmt_key; } if (!wdev->wext.connect.ssid_len) return 0; which is not consistent with the fix your patch is making. But I do believe I'm encrypted anyway.
