3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgrus...@redhat.com> commit fa4cffcba9e13798ed7c6b8526b91b1631ecb53e upstream. We do not correctly change interface type when switching from IBSS mode to STA mode, that results in microcode errors.
