WPA2 connection issue on embedded ARM system

Hello Dirk,

I'm not sure but maybe it helps to know that I have a running system 
here, with an ARM based 2.6.32-rc7 system. We had various trouble with 
the libertas driver but with firmware version 9.70.3p36 most things seem 
to be fine, also with 2.6.31.

Also wpa_supplicant Version 0.6.9 works ok, so the components should 
work in principle.

Best

Michael
