Well, this patch seems to fix things for the non-authenticated case.
I can now associate with the GoogleGuest SSID without any problems.
I'm still having problems associating with the EAP-TLS encrypted
network, but that looks like it's a different bug.  (And that may
explain why I had so much trouble bisecting this; there are two issues
that have very similar symptoms.)

I did have to slightly modify your patch since at least as of 3.2-rc5,
the functions involved were in a different file (iwl-agn.c).

I tried Wey's patch, but it didn't seem to result in any change in
behavior, as you had suggested.

OK, now to see if I can figure out what's going on with the EAP-TLS
authentication case....
