I'm applying this now, with a big BUT:

1) your changelog is crap - I've rewritten it to indicate what's going
on

2) I think the change makes sense, but as far as fixing the bug is
concerned it's actually completely stupid

3) I expect you to submit a proper bugfix for mac80211 ASAP, to not
call into the driver before the station is actually known to the
driver.
