In commit ba9b28d19a3251bb1dfe6a6f8cc89b96fb85f683, routine ieee80211softmac_capabilities was added to ieee80211softmac_io.c. As denoted by its name, it completes the capabilities IE that is needed in the associate and reassociate requests sent to the AP. For at least one AP, the Linksys WRT54G V5, the capabilities field must set the 'short preamble' bit or the AP refuses to associate. In the commit noted above, there is a call to the new routine from ieee80211softmac_reassoc_req, but not from ieee80211softmac_assoc_req. This patch fixes that oversight. As noted in the subject, v2.6.17 is affected. My bcm43xx card had been unable to associate since I was forced to buy a new AP. I finally was able to get a packet dump and traced the problem to the capabilities info. Although I had heard that a patch was "floating around", I had not seen it before 2.6.17 was released. As this bug does not affect security and I seem to have the only AP affected by it, there should be no problem in leaving it for 2.6.18.
