Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

My Cisco Aironet has stopped connecting to the router. It keeps saying
the ESSID is "tsunami" and reports the access point as FF:FF:....

I made a fresh install of Debian on a spare partition via netinst and
everything worked perfectly. I then did a dist-upgrade to Sid and the
above error reappeared.

I don't know whether the bug is in wireless-tools or libiw.
