For me it works with or without the patch, may be there is some condition that 
triggers the bug that I'm not hitting. But I still have the same problem that 
I previously reported about power management, but the bug isn't on that 
commit and doesn't have to do with power management, later I found that an 
ifconfig <interface> down + ifconfig <interface> up works too, it's something 
on userspace that triggers the bug (shortly after I modprobe the module, udev 
calls automatically scripts to configure the interface, if I disable this in 
udev and run commands manually interface works here, I'll see if I catch this 
other problem, may be a race in initialization code somewhere).
