I don't know if it is for this bug or a different one, but Matthew
Garrett seem to have some pending patches. At least that is what he told
me at PlumbersConf. Lets see if these patches do help. And please follow
up with Arjan's suggestion and put a WARN_ON in the upstream code
instead of waving CONFIG_BROKEN around.
The fix I had for this was actually for ipw2200, but it ought to be 
applicable for 2100 as well. The ideal fix is probably to ensure that 
ipw*_down D3s the card and *_up D0s it, which brings enhanced runtime 
power saving and also has the nice side effect of actually resetting the 
damned POS in error cases.
