Patch to defconfig-c7x0 for 2.6.24-rp kernel

WPA is not working on my Zaurus C750 with Angstrom images based on 2.6.24
kernel ("Angstrom 2007.12-rxx").

I have an Ambicom WiFi card that works OK. The hostap driver gets loaded as
soon as I plug it in, wpa_supplicant scans the available networks and selects
the correct one, but it does not complete the authentication phase (and keeps
on associating and disconnecting until the card is unplugged).
(Note: connecting to unencrypted networks is working).

The only message that seems relevant is (from dmesg):
ieee80211_crypt_tkip: could not allocate crypto API arc4
The message is still there if I modprobe arc4.

Taking a cue from the "arc4" message I tried compiling the crypto stuff in the
kernel, instead of as modules. Specifically I built a kernel with algapi, ecb,
arc4 and michael_mic compiled in. With this kernel WPA works flawlessly.

I attach a diff for the defconfig of the kernel.
