Subject: [PATCH] softmac: Fixed handling of deassociation from AP

From:  Ulrich Kunitz <kune@...ne-taler.de>
 
A deauthentication from the AP doesn't start a reassociation by
SoftMAC. To fix this mac->associnfo.associating must be set and the
ieee80211softmac_assoc_work function must be scheduled.
