Cyd,
You are right, the bug isn't fixed.
needlez6 had changed the status of bug #643788, the bug this is marked a
duplicated of, from "Fix Committed" to "In Progress." This bug should have the
same status (since being a duplicate implies they are the same bug), but
unfortunately I cannot change it.
As it is, there is a lot of discussion of a fix, but so far it is just a
work-around. http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=127542355914348&w=4 is
the only email I can find where a developer discusses merging a patch
into the mainline work. As far as I can tell there hasn't been any
discussion at the proper place to fix this since June.
In summary, unless there is something more correct in the thousands of
messages in linux-wireless about this (a very real possibility), this
bug isn't fix. The patch at http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/channel-
negative-one-maxim.patch will work for most people, although my
understanding is that it will break users who use multiple channels with
one wireless card.
