cover airo fixes

Hello,

this is a series of four patches for the airo driver:

1/4: airo: don't use the interface name so much before registration 2/4: airo: delay parts of initialization until the netdev is up 3/4: airo: disable the PCI device when unloading module 4/4: airo: start with radio off

The first two fix the race condition Matteo Croce was experiencing. The third one fixes a bug I noticed during testing.
The last one saves some power when the card is not used.

PATCH 1/4 airo: don't use the interface name so much before registration

Matteo Croce reported Aironet initialization failures. They were caused by a race in airo. airo finds a free interface name, then initializes the card and finally registers the interface. Another device may get the same name in the meantime.
The reason airo gets its name early is to use it in informative printks and to name the resources it requests. The printks will be just fine without the interface name and the resources can use the driver's name - that's what other network drivers do anyway.
Note that we still use the interface name in request_irq and for the kernel thread. The race is not fixed by this change, but it's a first step.

PATCH 2/4 airo: delay parts of initialization until the netdev is up

In reply to Michal Schmidt

airo's kernel thread and the IRQ handler are needed only when the interface is up.
With their initialization moved to .open() there are no more users of dev->name before registration, so this fixes the race when the initialization could fail when another netdev stole airo's name.

PATCH 3/4 airo: disable the PCI device when unloading module

In reply to Michal Schmidt

Fix an assymetry between pci_{enable,disable}_device. airo did not disable the PCI device when unloading the module. This caused suspend failures after modprobe -r airo && modprobe airo.

Don't turn the radio on until the interface is up. This saves some power in case the driver is loaded but the card is not used.

Hello,

this is a series of four patches for the airo driver:

The first two fix the race condition Matteo Croce was experiencing. The third one fixes a bug I noticed during testing.
The last one saves some power when the card is not used.

These all look good to me, I might be able to find some time to runtime-test them too if you want more testing.
