I'm impressed with yours :-) I had actually found the cause of the
problem. It's two-fold, that patch disables beacons, which is easily
fixable but it looks like it also adds some problem in the data path.
Anyway just arrive home from OLS (Ottawa Linux Symposium and desperately
need a nap. I will cook and send to wireless-testing a patch fixing what
the beacon revamp patch broke.

Thanks for the good work and sorry for my late answer, have been busy at OLS.
