Ah. That patch isn't in yet I guess. I wonder if that could still be an
issue though. Maybe you can try that patch along with this one:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=55a00b83339f25d2979b85ab6e2151390327db80;hp=cfa53f1e753ed709f0a483fa8bd16bc7d08d402d

Anyhow, I'm grasping at straws -- can you tell me more about the failure
mode, and possibly enable CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU and
CONFIG_MAC80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG?
