           Summary: Receiving regulatory information causes loss of
                    association
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.0+
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Wireless
        AssignedTo: networking_wireless at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: pm at debian.org
        Regression: No


This possibly only affects the ath5k driver.

The sequence to reproduce the possible race condition is:

You preferably need an access point that advertises its regulatory domain.

Associate to the access point.

Run "wpa_cli disconnect".

Wait a minute.

Run "wpa_cli reconnect".

Note the sequence in kernel log of roughly: default configured regdom being
set; association succeeding; the "00" regdom being set; AP's regdom being set;
loss of association.

Try "wpa_cli reconnect" again immediately. Same result.

Allow things to settle for a few minutes, then try "wpa_cli reconnect" again.
It may or may not work.

For some reason, the first ever association to the AP never has a problem.
