Patch fixes the bug at
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2139

Currently we cannot set the channel using wext extension
if we have already associated and disconnected. As
cfg80211_mgd_wext_siwfreq will not switch the channel if ssid is set.
This fixes it by clearing the ssid.
Following is the sequence which it tries to fix.
modprobe iwlagn
iwconfig wlan0 essid ""
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 chan X

wext is marked as deprecate.If we use nl80211 we can easily play with
setting the channel.

When CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT is not set, there is
a refcount imbalance with rdev-&gt;opencount, fix
that by moving it out of the ifdef.

This fixes a syntax error when setting up the user regulatory
hint. This change yields the same exact binary object though
so it ends up just being a syntax typo fix, fortunately.

If there's an invalid channel or SSID, the code leaks
the scan request. Always free the scan request, unless
it was successfully given to the driver.

Joseph Nahmias reported, in http://bugs.debian.org/562016,
that he was getting the following warning (with some log
around the issue):

  ath0: direct probe to AP 00:11:95:77:e0:b0 (try 1)

It is not clear to me how the first "direct probe" here
happens, but this seems to be a race condition, if the
user requests to deauth after requesting assoc, but before
the assoc response is received. In that case, it may
happen that mac80211 tries to report the assoc success to
cfg80211, but gets blocked on the wdev lock that is held
because the user is requesting the deauth.

The result is that we run into a warning. This is mostly
harmless, but maybe cause an unexpected event to be sent
to userspace; we'd send an assoc success event although
userspace was no longer expecting that.

To fix this, remove the warning and check whether the
race happened and in that case abort processing.

When the current_bss is not set, 'iwconfig &lt;iface&gt; key off' does not
clear the private flag. Hence after we connect with WEP to an AP and
then try to connect with another non-WEP AP, it does not work.
This issue will not be seen if supplicant is used.

Indent them with four spaces instead of the tab character to get prettier
output.

<title>WE: Fix set events not propagated</title>

I've just noticed that some events are no longer propagated
for some wireless drivers. Basically, SET request with a extra payload
for driver without commit handler. The fix is pretty simple, see
attached.
	Actually, a few lines below this line, you will see that the
event generation for simple SET (iwpoint-less ?) is done properly,
and this other event generation does not need fixing.
