Thanks for pointing that out. This patch depends on a patch titled
"softmac: deauthentication implies deassociation" which is apparently
not present in Linus' tree.
That patch is in the upstream branch (also available in the master
branch) of wireless-2.6, which is probably what anyone doing wireless
patches should(*) be using.
The approved release process only allows for non-bugfix patches
in the first two weeks after a Linus blesses a new kernel release.
After that only bugfixes are allowed, with non-bugfix patches getting
queued for the next merge window. The upstream branch represents
that queue of patches.
Hth!

Normally I use the master branch of wireless-2.6; however that code has
something in it that kills interrupts from my bcm4306 card, but I
haven't had time to chase down that problem. A second difficulty is that
my Linksys WRT54G V1 died and the only replacement I could find on short
notice was a V5 model, which is truly an abomination using VXWorks, not
Linux. When the AP changed, my working system of bcm43xx-softmac with
WPA authentication now refuses to authenticate, and I have to use a
wired connection. Accordingly, I try every softmac patch that might
solve my problem - thus I applied Daniels's patch to Linus's tree.
