Thanks! This was broken when the RSN code was changed not to touch the
configuration structure directly. Your changes are indeed making this
work the way it was supposed to work. I applied this part of the patch.

This is something that I will need to take a closer look at in order to
figure out how exactly this was supposed to work and whether something
was broken at some point or whether the original design did not work
properly. I did not yet apply this part since I'm not sure whether it
could cause some problems in practice.
