[Soekris] Configuring WPA w/CM9

[Tom Craddock Jr]

Sorry, forgot to mention that Im running Pyramid Matrix on the 4521 
(Linux protector 2.6.17.8-metrix #1 Thu Aug 17 13:24:26 PDT 2006 i486 
GNU/Linux), a beta build from Ken at matrix who got this out to me this 
past Fri, to whom much thanks go.

> ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: Invalid argument
> Could not configure driver to use managed mode
> wifi0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)
