Although it might not be that important I though I should
report the following observations when using
wpa_supplicant with the nl80211 driver onn ath5k:

1. wpa_supplicant complains about "Could not configure driver
   to use managed mode" and "Failed to set interface wlan0 mode"
   (but it works anyway). This is Debian sid wpasupplicant_0.6.9-3.
   The error is from wpasupplicant-0.6.9/src/drivers/driver_nl80211.c
   where is sends the NL80211_CMD_SET_INTERFACE msg.

2. The first ifup after boot or ath5k module reload
   (modprobe ath5k -r; modprobe ath5k) is much faster
   than the second and subsequent ifup.  The first time
   it takes around 7 secs until "wpa_cli status" reports
   wpa_state=COMPLETED, the second time it takes around 25 secs.

Thanks
Johannes
