After upgrading to 3.10.4 and traveling to Europe I'm often suffering
from failures to associate with the following in dmesg:

[   37.438941] wlan0: AP 64:70:02:e6:a6:ba changed bandwidth in a way we can't support - disconnect

I hacked the driver to do

-                  "AP %pM changed bandwidth, new config is %d MHz, width %d (%d/%d MHz)\n",
+                  "AP %pM changed bandwidth, new config is %d MHz, width %d (%d/%d MHz) flags %x/%x\n",
                   ifmgd->bssid, chandef.chan->center_freq, chandef.width,
-                  chandef.center_freq1, chandef.center_freq2);
+                  chandef.center_freq1, chandef.center_freq2, flags, ifmgd->flags);

and

-       if (flags != (ifmgd->flags & (IEEE80211_STA_DISABLE_HT |
+       if ((flags != 0x810 && ifmgd->flags != 0x804) && (
+            flags != (ifmgd->flags & (IEEE80211_STA_DISABLE_HT |

and the result is a working link with

We have few reports about this. Johannes, proposed this patch

Could you check if it fixes the problem for you?
