Managed to get this compiled yesterday and had a chance to do some
testing last night.

It does seem to be a bit better then the previous patch -- the interface
comes up and associates automatically on boot now.  Previously it would
be up and scanning but never find anything until I restarted
wpa_supplicant.

It does still randomly stop working after a couple hours though.  It
will still show "up" and associated with the AP, but no packets get
through until I down/up the interface.  Sometimes have to cycle it
twice.  It may last a little longer than the previous patch before it
dies, but I'm not 100% sure.

Is that a known issue or should I start enabling debug flags?

Thanks for all your work on this driver.

Craig
