Johannes,

Just got around to downloading today's compat-wireless and it doesn't
work for me - frequent disconnects this time with response timeouts -

Of course mainline continues to work fine after reverting
47afbaf5af9454a7a1a64591e20cbfcc27ca67a8.


No offense, but that to me is yet another reason to either revert or
get a proper fix in mainline whichever is sooner. (Sorry but
non-working network is impossible to live with - especially so when I
have to rely on mainline to get a working network (compat-wireless
doesn't work and the distro kernel just freezes when connecting to the
network and there is no fix in sight yet [*] ) )

Thanks
Parag
