ath5k gets lost with eeepc-laptop removal

[Luiz Fernando N. Capitulino]

 Hi guys,

 If I do a 'rmmod eeepc-laptop', while connected to my AP, I get the
following error messages from ath5k:

"""

 Then I lost my wireless connection.

 I'm running latest Linus git tree (2.6.28-rc2) on a Eeepc 701.

 The problem doesn't happen on 2.6.27.4, but as 2.6.28-rc1 doesn't
boot on this machine, it would be a bit difficult to bisect it.

 Thanks.
