[PATCH 2.6.31, 2.6.32] Staging: rt2860sta: prevent a panic when disabling when associated

From: Darren Salt
Date: Tue Oct 13 2009 - 22:29:38 EST


This fixes a panic which is triggered when the hardware "disappears" from
beneath the driver, i.e. when wireless is toggled off via Fn-F2 on various
EeePC models.
