This patch is correct yet it suppresses an important warning, meaning
that you have constant IBSS reconnection, remove all connected station
and adding them again, This greatly degraded performance. This is
caused by inability to adjust to TSF of the IBSS leader

<snipt>
static int ieee80211_sta_join_ibss(struct net_device *dev,
				   struct ieee80211_if_sta *ifsta,
				   struct ieee80211_sta_bss *bss)
.....
/* Remove possible STA entries from other IBSS networks. */
	sta_info_flush_delayed(sdata);
</snip>

I fail to see how the TSF could be related to an ever reconnecting
station. Can you elaborate on what happens?

I was under the impression that the firmware would handle TSF stuff.
Also the "IBSS leader" is a new thing to me. I remember from the specs
that the device should accept the TSF from _any_ beacon. Not just a
"leader". Am I mislead? :)

I also fail to see how we could _ever_ set the TSF to something remotely
correct from the driver because of the FIFO delay.

I cannot find this patch in wireless-testing and I don't
have a copy of wireless-2.6 here. Can you send me the patch, or
explain what it does?
