Bug Description
WPA wireless worked out of the box in Hardy on a ThinkPad T30 with integrated MiniPCI wireless Card.
In Intrepid, WPA is not available.
It seems in Intrepid, both orinoco_pci and hostap_pci get loaded for the wireless card. orinoco_pci grabs the card first and doesn't support WPA.
Even after blacklisting hermes, orinoco and orinoco_pci, the hostap driver won't connect to a WPA-protected wireless network. Dmesg shows: wifi0: invalid skb->cb magic.
Here are a bunch of log files from three configurations:
1- WPA working by default in Hardy
2- WPA not available with orinoco_pci in Intrepid
3- WPA not working with hostap in Intrepid

I just tested linux-image- 2.6.26- 5-generic_ 2.6.26- 5.17 and hostap works fine (although it still loads orinoco_pci first).
It seems the bug in hostap was introduced in 2.6.27.
