Found a hang while playing with wpa_supplicant and a zd1211 usb adapter
using linux 2.6.19. The problem is that ieee80211softmac_wx_set_mlme
forgets to release a mutex when mlme->cmd is IW_MLME_DEAUTH. The fix
below allows me to kill wpa_supplicant and to restart it without having
to reboot the machine. FWIW, it seems that the problem was introduced
between 2.6.19-rc2 and 2.6.19-rc3 when this function was changed to use
a mutex.
