It looks like this was actually quite easy to fix. So, current CVS
version should having working activity polling both when using kernel
driver and hostapd for 802.11 management. As an added bonus, this should
fix long pending bug with the buffering of 802.1X frames. If someone has
had problems using IEEE 802.1X with a station that was using power
saving, this version should help quite a bit..
