| Yes, I know it may have worked in earlier kernels.  And we should find
| out why that is, and hopefully fix the regression if any.  But
| understand that airo has always been problematic and has never worked as
| well as other fullmac cards like orinoco.
| 
| I booted up RHEL5 today, which uses a 2.6.18 kernel and of course does
| not have the patch-in-question.  That behavior is:
| 
| 1) stop NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant
| 2) insert airo card
| 3) iwlist scan returns many results
| 4) connect to WEP-enabled AP
| 5) iwlist scan returns *only* the connected ap
| 6) iwconfig eth1 essid any key off
| 7) iwlist scan returns no results
| 
| remember, that's without any of the patches we're talking about, using a
| kernel from 2007.  Which is about the same behavior you get, correct?

 I don't get quite this behavior, although I'm not doing exactly these
steps; instead, I do:
	- boot machine
	- use 'iwlist scan' and see multiple APs
	- use NetworkManager to connect to our WEP-enabled AP
	- 'iwlist scan' returns only the single AP
	- turn things off with:
		iwconfig eth1 essid ANY key off
	- 'iwconfig eth1' and NetworkManager both show no connected AP
	- 'iwlist scan' returns only the ex-connected AP

(I do not know the right commands to connect to our WEP-enabled AP and
verify that everything is working right without using NetworkManager,
so I used it for the connection phase.)
