It's worth mentioning that I didn't apply the exact patch -- the 
register_wlan is now the last thing to happen before ifstate_enable() is 
called.

Another thing to keep in mind is that ifstate_enable() won't succeed on 
some prism3 (pcmcia/usb) hardware because they *require* a firmare 
download.

Yeah, I think the test can simply go away altogether, replaced with a 
test against wlandev->hwremoved.
