That's exactly the workaround I needed. Thanks John.

As Sam points out, the root fix is probably already in HEAD; it would be 
nice to find time to backport, but this works for us for now as a 
workaround (we are just using ath0 as a STA for testing in the lab at 
the moment, it is likely we will use hostap later).

cheers,
