Thanks! I changed driver_madwifi.c to do what your patch did, but
cleaned up the code a bit by adding a new function and making sure there
are no memory leaks in case the STA entry was there already with WPA IE.

I did not merge changes to sta_info.c (free() can be called with NULL
argument) and wpa.c (extra verification not needed, sm==NULL if WPA is
disabled). The end result seemed to work in both WPA-PSK and non-WPA
IEEE 802.1X modes.
