Hi Adrian,

this change completely broke iwn for me. It's a

iwn0: <Intel WiFi Link 5100> mem 0xf1ffe000-0xf1ffffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on 
pci12

built-in device in a Dell Precision m4400.

With this change, wpa_supplicant cannot associate any longer. In the
logs I see every few seconds

Oct 27 10:57:37 mole wpa_supplicant[2256]: wlan0: Trying to associate with 
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (SSID='xx' freq=2427 MHz)
Oct 27 10:57:47 mole wpa_supplicant[2256]: wlan0: Authentication with 
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx timed out.
Oct 27 10:57:47 mole wpa_supplicant[2256]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED 
bssid=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx reason=3 locally_generated=1

If I revert just this revision based on a r257155 checkout, it works
again.

Stefan
