Problems with WPA in mainline 2.6.31-gitX
Johannes and John,
I found that commit bbac31f4 "cfg80211: fix SME connect" breaks WPA2 connections. I found the problem using bisection. I verified the bisection by reverting the patch above. I also found that commit 55a00b833 "cfg80211: don't overwrite privacy setting" from wireless-testing fixed the issue.
Is the latter patch on its way upstream? If so, I will not bother with posting a regression on LKML or a bugzilla report. If not, I will initiate the formalities to ensure that the second patch is included in mainline.

it made it into 2.6.31-git16:
"cfg80211: don't overwrite privacy setting"94f85853324e02c3a32bc3101f090dc9a3f512b4
but, "[PATCH] cfg80211: don't set privacy w/o key" is still missing.
Regards,
Chr

Thanks, Christian. It turns out I do not need "don't set privacy".
With the latest pull, my system works fine.
