Subject: Problem with "cfg80211: fix SME connect" (bisected)

Hi,

After building today's mainline kernel (as of 78f28b7c) my wireless
networking stopped working - the interface seems to come up but nothing
can connect. The output of dmesg was clean, no backtraces or anything
unusual.

I've bisected the problem down to commit bbac31f4 "cfg80211: fix SME
connect". Reverting that commit fixes the problem. I'm using
wpa_supplicant v0.6.9. The bug occurs for my b43 card and my rt2500pci
card, and reverting the commit fixes the problem for both cards.

Please let me know if there's any more info I can provide or patches I
can test.

Andrew

That fixes it, thanks.
