My queue management rework broke drivers that don't
have multiple AC queues and register a single queue
only, causing a warning:

WARNING: at net/mac80211/iface.c:162 ieee80211_check_queues

This was due to filling the queues wrongly and then
noticing the error when checking later.

John,

I know you have been busy and that Linus is restricting the patches
to be added after 3.4-rc7; however, this one really needs to get
into 3.4. If it does not make it, every wireless device with only
one hardware queue will break.

Larry

Actually, it doesn't seem to apply in 3.4.  The original commit that
causes the problem (3a25a8c8) seems to only exist in wireless-next.

Is there some other version of this patch to apply for 3.4?

I got confused about that one. Sorry for the noise.

The one that does need to be in 3.4 is "[PATCH] rtlwifi: fix for race condition when firmware is cached". The original commit (b0302ab) is in mainline, but this fix is not.
