 That's exactly the workaround I needed. Thanks John.
 
 As Sam points out, the root fix is probably already in HEAD; it would be 
 nice to find time to backport, but this works for us for now as a 
 workaround (we are just using ath0 as a STA for testing in the lab at 
 the moment, it is likely we will use hostap later).
 
 cheers,
