The firmware seems to be loaded every time, but after the load it fails. I
don't have the device here, so I can't provide the complete log (will do it
later today) but it's always something along these lines:

1. some message about CRDA regulatory domain
2. messge about loaded firmware ~50kB from filename ar9271.fw
3. "Target is unresponsive" error

How could I check if the firmware is activated? Is it possible to do the "hard
reset" from the software somehow? I would try to hard reset the device and
then load the firmware. Strange thing is, that the firmware seems to be loaded
without any error, but than it fails. I've looked at the code really quickly
yesterday and it seems, that the device is always put into some kind of the
deep sleep mode if the module is unloaded, maybe that there's problem with it?

Thanks. I'll enable debugging and will post hopefully more verbose log soon.
