Alex's patch addresses a different issue, there is a race with wpa_supplicant (/etc/rc.d/netif restart) which might free a node while one of the wpi functions is using it. It shouldn't make any difference in your case, though, it's nice to fix this now and I probably going to commit it anyways. Please let me know if there a any stability issues left, it made a pretty good impressions over this weekend while I did run some tests. Thanks. -- Bernhard
