The fix I had for this was actually for ipw2200, but it ought to be 
applicable for 2100 as well. The ideal fix is probably to ensure that 
ipw*_down D3s the card and *_up D0s it, which brings enhanced runtime 
power saving and also has the nice side effect of actually resetting the 
damned POS in error cases.
