Thank you for you feedback! I had noticed that the two assignments above
(for .ndisauthtype and .ndisencryptstatus) take place in both branches
of the if statement in rtw_reset_securitypriv23a() so I thought removing
them here would be okay. I'll be sure to make the changes you suggested.

Thanks for your time,
Matthew Emerson
