Ok, thanks! I was going to suggest doing the same in
b43_op_remove_interface in drivers/net/wireless/b43/main.c, but I think
the problem is just that we have an ordering problem and call drv_stop
before drv_remove_interface. I'll try to come up with a fix soon --
might not be able to today though, in the meantime I guess you can just
move the drv_stop call to the end of the function and tell me if that
works -- that would be racy but should be ok most of the time.
