This warning appears only if we apply Ben Hutchings' fix
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=132720195012653&w=2
for the bug reported by Cesare Leonardi
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=656813
with cfg80211 warning during device registration
("cfg80211: failed to add phy80211 symlink to netdev!").
We separate device bring up and registration with network stack
to avoid the problem.
After that Ben Hutchings' fix can be applied to fix the bug.

Stefan, can you test it once again?

I've successfully tested this patch on its own and with Ben Hutching's
patch ("Bug#656813: [PATCH 1/2] ipw2200: Fix order of
device registration", Message-ID: <1327201775.8004.83.camel@deadeye>)
applied on top, it's working fine in both cases. The "cfg80211: failed
to add phy80211 symlink to netdev!" warning disappears after applying
both patches to kernel 3.3.2.
Feel free to add a tested-by tag, if you like:
