Is the AP made by Aruba Networks?

On RELENG_7, I needed a newer version (v0.5.11 instead of v0.5.10) of 
wpa_supplicant for it to associate correctly.  With v0.5.10, I could see 
DHCP requests from my laptop but no responses.  This is the patch I am 
using currently:
http://people.freebsd.org/~scf/wpa_supplicant-0.5.11-RELENG_7.patch

Note:  sam@ updated HEAD to v0.5.11 then to the v0.6.x series.
