What did the 3.0.y kernel do instead?

It looks to me like the ESSID gets reset to "intranet" once it is time to
associate.  Could you further explain the symptoms and how they differ
from the expected behavior?

Can you reproduce this using wpa_supplicant directly on the command
line?  (That just makes reproduction recipes a little easier to
understand.)  Even better would be if you can reproduce this on a WEP
network with "ip" from the iproute package and "iw" from iw:

        ip link set eth1 up
        iw dev eth1 scan
        iw dev eth1 connect -w <essid> key <key>
        ip link set eth1 down

Full "dmesg" output from booting up an affected kernel would also be
interesting.

More hints, such as how to get an iw event log, are at [1].

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
