Nice find.

More debugging. Don't spend too much time on this, because we are very likely ditching ieee80211 and switching to mac80211 for 2.6.25. Instead, spend time testing/fixing mac80211 instead. You need to use git to clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git and then switch to the everything branch (git checkout everything). Nevertheless, if you have got things working on ieee80211 there is still time for me to submit patches for 2.6.24.
