I'm having trouble recreating the warning. I have no idea why. It only
happened during ten minutes yesterday, and nothing in my wireless
setup has changed.

I wonder if *normally* my setup ends up connecting with a 40MHz band
or something, and I just happened to see the default uninitialized
case once.

I see that Jens reported that the patch works, although I'm wondering
how repeatable it was for him.  The patch obviously looks simple and
seems like an obviously GoodThing(tm) regardless.
