2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Jeff Chua <[email protected]> commit 62819fd9481021db7f87d5f61f2e2fd2be1dfcfa upstream. Driver r8712u is unable to handle ad-hoc mode. The issue is that when the driver first starts, there will not be an SSID for association. The fix is to always call the "select and join from scan" routine when in ad-hoc mode. Note: Ad-hoc mode worked intermittently before. If the driver had previously been associated, then things were OK.
