[Bug 42387] ipw2200 module can't be reloaded if its status was set to 2

[Nicolò Chieffo]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
to reproduce:

disable the card using /etc/acpi/wireless.sh which sets this file
content to 2

/sys/class/net/$DEVICE/device/power/state

modprobe -r ipw2200
modprobe ipw2200

I get these errors related to firmware:
ipw2200: Unable to load ucode: -22
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -22
ipw2200: failed to register network device
ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:02.0 failed with error -5

this happens whenever the state file has been set to 2 in the same
session. this means that if I set it to 0 but before I've set it to 2
these problems remains!
