I tested this on a Thinkpad R51 / RELENG_7 / Atheros 5212 and I see no 
problems with the patch. It builds and runs fine and doesn't seem to do 
anything harmful. :)

I have a problem with this machine though (with or without your patch): 
the wireless connection seems to be stalled every few minutes. If I try 
to send some traffic over ath0 or make wpa_cli reconnect it comes back 
for another few minutes.

The only cure for now seems to be "ifconfig ath0 -bgscan".

bye,
Uwe
