[rancid] patch suggestion for Cisco Mobile Express

[Bjarne Saltbæk]

Hi John and all.

A typical garbage would be:

--- cut ---
wlan flexconnect learn-ipaddr 11 enable
hÖJ5hÖJ5
hÖJ5hÖJ5


 wlan wmm require 11
--- cut ---

If it is terminal control characters or not I did not spend time to debug.
The easy fix was to switch command and remove the 3 lines
