Sure, it's wpa_supplicant in ubuntu gutsy doing it.

$wpa_supplicant -version
 wpa_supplicant v0.5.8
 Copyright (c) 2003-2007, Jouni Malinen <j@...fi> and contributors

But it happens to work fine without 8ab65b03b7893da4a49009e7e356e36e27b0c407.

So yes, this could be some assumption that wpa_supplicant makes and that
fails now. I guess I will try the latest version from source and report.
