As mentioned previously, if this is to be changed here, it has to be
matched in the _stop section too. It also has to be investigated exactly
why this matters for 8723bu. It is possible this matters for other
devices, but we need to find out exactly what causes this not moving a
major block of init code around like this.

I've tested this on the 8192e and 8192c. The same problems occurs with the
8192e but not the 8192c. Stopping and restarting wpa_supplicant had
no affect on the 8192c ability to connect to an AP.

Which version of the driver? I did push in some changes for 8192eu
recently that fixed the issue with 8192eu driver reloading, and I would
be interested in knowing if this didn't fix the problem for you?

Second, could we please keep this on the linux-wireless list where it
belongs. Everybody else doesn't necessarily want to receive a copy via
netdev and linux-kernel

The tests were done with the latest version of rtl8xxxu-devel. I haven't
noticed any occurence of the previous issue with the 8192eu.

OK, I am back from my trip, but still burried alive catching up on
things. This is very much on the list of things I want to investigate.
