SVN rev 207927 on 2010-05-11 17:21:54Z by bschmidt

MFC r207709:
Add a workaround for a bug in the firmware regarding the transition
from passive to active scans. Basicly disable it by increasing the
amount packets to be received to an amount which can't be reached
during dwell times.

i have the same card in my acer extensa 5620,and the connection drops after a few seconds,every time i reconnect. first i thought it was conflicting with the ethernet driver,so i removed the driver and the link but the connection kept dropping after a few seconds. so is this a bug in the driver or in the firmware? i don't quite understand this workaround and how i can implement it so i can finaly connect.
