Well, maybe not. I could not reproduce that after adding more debug code
to mac80211. In other words, the Probe Request is still there before
authentication is attempted. Anyway, with this, I did get to reproduce
the problem that shows up wpa_supplicant blacklisting not working
properly in this case at least with -Dnl80211.
