With these changes I can now sometimes associate as a station with one 
of my production ap's in 11g.  Other times I see the previous behaviour 
that I reported 1+ months ago.  The AssocReq frame to the ap is 
rejected; it appears the ral sta side does not ACK the Auth response 
frame from the ap so it then rejects the AssocReq.  Specifically I see 
retransmits of the Auth response from the ap until the AssocReq comes 
from the sta at which time the ap sends a Deauth.  I also see ProbeResp 
frames from the ap being retransmitted which also indicates failure to 
ACK by the sta.  In the one case where I was able to associate I could 
transfer data ok so I'm guessing you've still got setup issues prior to 
association and/or the handling of management frames.  If you want a 
packet trace let me know.

Otherwise I see problems when ejecting a ral cardbus card.  It appears 
the driver doesn't recognize when a card has gone away when scanning; 
e.g. you'll see lots of msgs of the form:

ral0: could not write to RF

until there's a timeout (device timeout) followed by

ral0: could not read from BBP
ral0: could not write to BBP

At some point LONG time past I see ral0: detached; but sometimes not 
until I insert another card.

The above issues happen with both my ral cards (Asus WL-107g and Zonet 
ZEW1501).  All this is with CURRENT of today.
