mac80211: don't connect to IBSS network with different privacy
Even when we find an IBSS with the SSID we're looking for, we may not be able to connect to it because it has a key and we don't, or vice versa. Avoid such situations by checking the privacy capability bit. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
