3.2.96-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com
commit cfbb0d90a7abb289edc91833d0905931f8805f12 upstream.
For the reinstall prevention, the code I had added compares the whole key. It turns out though that iwlwifi firmware doesn't provide the TKIP TX MIC key as it's not needed in client mode, and thus the comparison will always return false.
For client mode, thus always zero out the TX MIC key part before doing the comparison in order to avoid accepting the reinstall of the key with identical encryption and RX MIC key, but not the same TX MIC key (since the supplicant provides the real one.)
