Ok, that settles it then. Because this bug has been in mac80211 for ages
we can wait for 2.6.31.

But do you take Michael's patch[1] for disabling the "beacon loss"
message for 2.6.30? I think we should have it in 2.6.30, otherwise we
will get quite a lot of bug reports. Do you want me to resend it?
