Hong Liu 7b99659f97 [Bug 455] Fix frequent channel change generates firmware fatal error.
Because of the frequent channel change, it is possible that when we are
try to associate with channel 1 (authenticated but not associated).
Another channel change comes at this time, then the driver will issue
disassociate command to the firmware which will cause the fatal error.

It seems that the association/disassociation procedure should not be
interrupted.

The patch attached adds test on STATUS_ASSOCIATING | STATUS_DISASSOCIATING
in ipw_send_cmd(), when ensures that commands will not be sent to firmware
when we are in these two status.

	README
	------

	This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their
various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...).
	This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work
on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the
code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single
place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never
100% satisfactory.

	Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs,
you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto :
		http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/
	Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of
Wireless Tools to be configured :

	Special notes for distribution maintainers :
	1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs
	2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts

	Have fun...
