Fixes WEP firmware error condition.
The problem is caused by the patch in bug455 -- Channel change flood
generates fatal error.
The patch set the DISASSOCIATING status bit after sending the command.
The process was scheduled out when waiting for the command to be sent to
the card. The disassociated notification clears the DISASSOCIATING bit
in the tasklet before the process set the bit.
Move the bit setting code before sending the command now.

Card with WEP enabled and using shared-key auth will have firmware
error when it tries to auth to a WPA ap. The patch filters out WPA
networks if the card is not wpa enabled when selecting network to
associate to.
Because of the frequent channel change, it is possible that when we are
try to associate with channel 1 (authenticated but not associated).
Another channel change comes at this time, then the driver will issue
disassociate command to the firmware which will cause the fatal error.
It seems that the association/disassociation procedure should not be
interrupted.
The patch attached adds test on STATUS_ASSOCIATING | STATUS_DISASSOCIATING
