After cvsup'ing the fix, module builds and loads properly but fails to
associate. I have turned debug flood gates (80211debug 0xffffffff) and
it seems to indicate that card is busy scanning the neighborhood. My
situation is somewhat complicated by the fact that I have other AP with
the stronger signal level nearby:

sunny:RabbitsDen>wicontrol ath0 -l
2 stations:
ap[0]:
        netname (SSID):                 [ YYYYYYYYYYY ]
        BSSID:                          [ 00:12:xx:xx:xx:xx ]
        Channel:                        [ 6 ]
        Quality/Signal/Noise [signal]:  [ 0 / 21 / 0 ]
                                [dBm]:  [ 0 / -128 / -149 ]
        BSS Beacon Interval [msec]:     [ 100 ]
        Capinfo:                        [ ESS ]
ap[1]:
        netname (SSID):                 [ XXXXXXXXXXXX ]
        BSSID:                          [ 00:11:xx:xx:xx:xx ]
        Channel:                        [ 11 ]
        Quality/Signal/Noise [signal]:  [ 0 / 18 / 0 ]
                                [dBm]:  [ 0 / -131 / -149 ]
        BSS Beacon Interval [msec]:     [ 100 ]
        Capinfo:                        [ ESS WEP ]

AP with SSID "XXXXXXXXXX" (00:11:xx:xx:xx:xx) is the one I am trying to
associate with.

I have attached debug output -- if more (or less ;) information is
needed, please, let me know.

Both _onoe and _amrr survive this setup occasionally taking link down
and then back up.

System is -CURRENT cvsup'ed after the "unresolved reference" fix today
and card is PCMCIA Linksys WPC55AG (AR5212).
