Dan posted it to linux-wireless@...r.kernel.org on 13 Feb 2007.
The description in the body is quoted below:

	Correct assignment of DOT1XENABLE in WE-19 codepaths.
	RX_UNENCRYPTED_EAPOL = 1 really means setting DOT1XENABLE _off_, and
	vice versa.  The original WE-19 patch erroneously reversed that.  This
	patch fixes association with unencrypted and WEP networks when using
	wpa_supplicant.
	
	It also adds two missing break statements that, left out, could result
	in incorrect card configuration.
	
	Please commit to both development and stable branches.

Hth...
