[PATCH] softmac: Fix handling of authentication failure
My router blew up earlier, but exhibited some interesting behaviour during its dying moments. It was broadcasting beacons but wouldn't respond to any authentication requests. I noticed that softmac wasn't playing nice with this, as I couldn't make it try to connect to other networks after it had timed out authenticating to my ill router. To resolve this, I modified the softmac event/notify API to pass the event code to the callback, so that callbacks being notified from IEEE80211SOFTMAC_EVENT_ANY masks can make some judgement. In this case, the ieee80211softmac_assoc callback needs to make a decision based upon whether the association passed or failed.
