[patch] backport of ral(4) reliability fix for 3.8

[Roman Hunt]

Attached is a backport of the ral(4) fix about to be released in 3.9 ID'd
as: 

don't try to release references to nodes that have been freed by net80211.
in HostAP mode, when switching to the INIT state, net80211 sends a DISASSOC
and a DEAUTH frame to all associated stations and immediately free all the
nodes while we may still hold references to them in our Tx queues.

hopefully, this should fix PRs 4469/kernel and 4953/kernel.

I needed this to work now and couldn't get snapshots or wait for my disk to
ship so I backported 
the change. Maybe some of you will find the patch useful.

Re: X11 exploit info

[Roman Hunt]

Dude what is your major f*^%! malfunction? Years ago this sh!^ would've
never been allowed to fly on this list.  

Maybe you think that posting all this ridiculous shit is funny but it's
really not.

Go take a class at a community college and learn the basics before you post
again. PLEASE! And definitely stop wasting your time trying
To discover how to exploit systems you are unable to comprehend.  

That said If you ever need serious system administration help for a
serious issue (not one you make up when you are all paranoid and gunning 
to be a BIG HACKER HERO) then feel free to ask me and I'll be happy to help.

is a 3-part series on X-11 exploits which those who
think they understand x11 security might wish to
read and comment upon. I clearly don't understand 
x11 security so I have no comments, but I will read
with great interest comments by anyone else.

 X11 is the protocol that underlies your graphical desktop environment, and
you need to be aware of its security model.
