Hi,

The kernel validates now the netlink messages, probably we send
something invalid.

Do you get an error message somewhere in the network configuration?
Does it work when you configure the interface manually with ip-tiny?

I saw such a message when iw send a wrong message to mac80211 from
backports for the antenna configuration because I did not update the
nl80211.h file.
