[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#501859: wpa_supplicant works with 2.6.27, but not 2.6.26

I have a similar (or the same) problem, dhclient fails to obtain an IP
address from my AP with a 64-bit kernel 2.6.26.5.  However, as
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436923#c1 indicates, this
seems to be fixed in 2.6.27, since with 2.6.27.4 everything works fine.

Sorry for not giving more detailed information, but
/var/log/wpa_supplicant.wlan0.log is empty (how do I enable logging?).
In any case, here are the stanzas from /etc/network/interfaces:

,----
| allow-hotplug wlan0
| iface wlan0 inet dhcp
|       wpa-driver wext
|       wpa-ap-scan 1
|       wpa-scan-ssid 1
|       wpa-ssid "hidden"
|       wpa-proto WPA RSN
|       wpa-pairwise CCMP
|       wpa-group CCMP
|       wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
|       wpa-psk "top-secret"
`----

Should the bug reassigned to linux-2.6 (or cloned)?
