Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ath6kl: Remove auth type fall back in auto authentication mode

Target already tries with different authentication mechanism
when authentication type is configured to NL80211_AUTHTYPE_AUTOMATIC.
Remove this piece of code from driver. Having this code in driver
even affects auto + WEP authentication in some cases.

Sorry for the delay but the patch 3 also seems to be problematic
sometime. Can you please drop 3 as well?. The disconnect event
still not clear to me.

Please hold on this patch, it seems to introduce regression when
testing with different APs.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] ath6kl: Fix random reconnect failures

Sometimes connect events are received after disconnect
events from target, this puts host and target in different
states. When receiving a connect event in a wrong state,
make sure to send disconnect event to target to maintain
state consistency.

It looks bogus to give disconnect command from the disconnect
event handler.

You got lucky, I forgot to push the patches :) So I was able to easily
drop patch 3.

Thanks, patches 1-3 applied. Patch 4 dropped per your request. Please
resend it once it's ready.

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ath6kl: Set the sme_state to disconnected in disconnect() callback

After a successful completion of disconnect() driver needs to set
it's sme_state to SME_DISCONNECTED to be in sync with cfg80211
state.
