wireless-testing/wireless-next has already such a patch:
"mac80211: cancel restart_work in ieee80211_unregister_hw" (2010-08-25)

<http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next-2.6.git;a=commit;h=258086a48b766d12a500f98834654ffa927ca475>

John, can you please push to 2.6.36-rc8?
(I know, I am _late_, but I didn't know about any potential problem
in the mainline?)

Best regards,
	Chr
