hi,

got a brand new d-link dwl-g650 c2 and

see it again, this time in latest(? ive seen no checkins for a week so
far) hostapd+wpasupplicant cvs on 2.6.14 with madwifi cvs (which still
has the acpi suspend/resume issue in ath-*.ko and wlan-ccmp.ko,
requiring module removal in acpi script before sleep and ifupdown
explicitly) :

ok. i do it next, this is a security issue. windows+mac rsn clients not
 involved and rekeying normal with hostapd.
