Turns out to not be a crash, but it is a real problem. The driver can
get into an inconsistent internal state if a connection loss event
occurs. Proper fix triggers deadlock due to interdependencies.
Hackish workaround in place now, and I'm working on a proper fix. Or
will be once my head stops throbbing. The code is needlessly complex
and interdependent, and unravelling a bit at a time is difficult.
This state problem actually explains a bunch of other odd quirks I've
seen, so fixing it properly is pretty important.

More progress here, but more work to be done. (Only a problem now if
device isn't idle when yanked -- if the supplicant is attached, it
deadlocks still)

No progress here yet.
I'll post another patch set this weekend.
