The problem is caused by the patch in bug455 -- Channel change flood
generates fatal error.
The patch set the DISASSOCIATING status bit after sending the command.
The process was scheduled out when waiting for the command to be sent to
the card. The disassociated notification clears the DISASSOCIATING bit
in the tasklet before the process set the bit.
Move the bit setting code before sending the command now.

Because of the frequent channel change, it is possible that when we are
try to associate with channel 1 (authenticated but not associated).
Another channel change comes at this time, then the driver will issue
disassociate command to the firmware which will cause the fatal error.
It seems that the association/disassociation procedure should not be
interrupted.
The patch attached adds test on STATUS_ASSOCIATING | STATUS_DISASSOCIATING
in ipw_send_cmd(), when ensures that commands will not be sent to firmware
when we are in these two status.

captured, it will be dumped to the kernel log (if debug enabled) and
captured in memory to be retrieved via sysfs.
If an error has already been captured, subsequent errors will be
dropped.
The existing error can be cleared by writing to the error log entry.

We send SYSTEM_CONFIG command after the TGI_KEY command if hardware
encryption is enabled. It sometimes causes a firmware stall (firmware
doesn't respond to any request) and finally bungs up the Tx send queue.
The solution is to send SYSTEM_CONFIG command in the post association
stage from a workqueue.

This patch creates a file airo.h containing prototypes of the global
functions in airo.c used by airo_cs.c .
If you got strange problems with either airo_cs devices or in any other
completely unrelated part of the kernel shortly or long after a airo_cs
device was detected by the kernel, this might have been caused by the
fact that caller and callee disagreed regarding the size of the first
argument to init_airo_card()...
