Subject: iwl4965 cannot use "ap auto" on latest 2.6.28/29?

I'm using latest linux git 2.6.28/29? and it seems the iwl4965 can't
use "iwconfig ap auto" to associate with the hidden AP. On
2.6.28-stable, it's working fine.

Linus, it is possible for you bump up the SUBLEVEL or EXTRAVERSION to
differentiate from the 2.6.28-stable version.

Thanks,
Jeff

Why not just consider it a bug? And -stable adds its own sublevel, so
differentiating stable from my kernels is always trivial. Hmm?
