When b43 fails to find firmware when loaded, a subsequent unload will oops due to calling ieee80211_unregister_hw() when the corresponding register call was never made. Commit 2d838bb608e2d1f6cb4280e76748cb812dc822e7 fixed the same problem for b43legacy. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Tested-by: Markus Kanet Cc: Markus Kanet Signed-off-by: John W.
