Subject: 2.6.23-rc regression: bcm43xx does not work after commit 4cf92a3c

Hello.

With latest git tree, bcm43xx driver does not work.
By bisect, I've found the commit 4cf92a3c is the first "bad" commit.

    [PATCH] softmac: Fix ESSID problem

    Victor Porton reported that the SoftMAC layer had random problem when setting the ESSID :
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8686 After investigation, it turned out to be
    worse, the SoftMAC layer is left in an inconsistent state. The fix is pretty trivial.

After reverting this commit, the driver starts working again.
