Dear Fabio,

Thanks for the patch. Sorry, but for some reason with my N10-Nano I
can't get a connection at all with this patch applied - it just won't
associate with my network. Interface shows up and no OOPS in log, but
just disassociates/no IP address/interface down etc. so perhaps
semantics differ slightly here somehow? Tried two separate
rollbacks/builds/runs just to make sure I wasn't losing my mind :-)

Regards,
Phil
