Hi Ben,

Thanks for the report.

I think this is due to my patch "iwlagn: rewrite HW crypto" which
accidentally broke key *removal* (of all things), which causes issues
when the first GTK is removed on the second rekeying.

This patch
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.git;a=commitdiff;h=5dcbf480473f6c3f06ad2426b7517038a2a18911

should fix it. Wey has sent it to John, but he hasn't picked it up yet
for some reason -- it's also marked for stable.

It'd be great to get confirmation that this is the problem, I'm not sure
I'll find time today to reproduce the problem.
